Point of Ayr Lighthouse
In Talacre Beach
Built to warn ships entering the Dee and Mersey Estuary, the lighthouse was constructed in 1776 and is now a Grade II listed building. Although it has not been used as a lighthouse since 1884, the Lighthouse has an interesting history and has even featured on a 2011 Dulux TV advert!
Roman Fort & Bathhouse

The Roman ruins were built around 70AD and were on top of an early settlement from the Iron Age, dating back to the 2nd and 1st Centuries.
