Meols (pronounced Mells) is located on the north coast of the Wirral peninsula. The north Wirral shoreline has suffered significant coastal change and erosion in the past 200 years, and thousands of archaeological discoveries have resulted from this process.
Meols, on the north Wirral coast, is now seen as one of the most significant ancient sites in the north west of England. For thousands of years, people had made use of a natural harbour called the Hoyle Lake. This gave its name in modern times to Hoylake, the town which grew up nearby.
