Cubbins Green is a charming woodland area located in the county of Cheshire, England. Situated within the larger district of Wood, the green is a small but picturesque forest that offers a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of nearby towns and cities.

Covering an area of approximately 20 acres, Cubbins Green is characterized by its dense woodland and lush greenery.

These paths wind through the forest, taking visitors on a journey through the tranquil surroundings and providing opportunities to spot the local flora and fauna. The green is also home to a small stream, which adds to its natural beauty and provides a serene setting for picnics or quiet contemplation.

Cubbins Green is a popular destination for outdoor activities such as walking, jogging, and birdwatching. The peaceful ambiance and stunning scenery make it an ideal spot for those seeking a break from the urban environment. Its location within close proximity to Wood and other nearby villages also means that amenities such as cafes and shops are easily accessible, ensuring visitors have everything they need for a pleasant day out in nature.

West Kirby Station – 1971 Remarkably, this excellent viewpoint of the station has not previously been used on Geograph. The station itself is much the same, but the signal box and the semaphore signals have gone, and the track layout is considerably simpler. On the left can be seen traces of the tracks which connected to the line via Neston to Hooton, which had a separate station off to the left which closed to passengers in 1956 and to freight in 1962. There were also goods yards (for both lines), now occupied by a fire station and a large public car park. The siding with a train standing on it has also been removed.
