Editing Thingwall (section)

==Geography==
Thingwall lies on the western side of the northern part of the Wirral Peninsula, {{convert|7.5|km|mi|order=flip}} from the [[Irish Sea]] at [[Hoylake]], {{convert|3.7|km|mi|order=flip}} from the [[Dee Estuary]] and about {{convert|6.6|km|mi|order=flip}} from the [[River Mersey]] at [[Rock Ferry]]. Thingwall sits at the western side of the wide and shallow glacial [[U-shaped valley]], formed during the [[Quaternary glaciation|Quaternary Ice Age]], between [[Thurstaston Common|Thurstaston Hill]] and [[Storeton|Storeton Ridge]]. The underlying bedrock is [[Triassic]] [[sandstone]] of the [[Sherwood Sandstone Group#Helsby Sandstone Formation|Helsby Sandstone Formation]] and the Wilmslow Sandstone Formation, and Triassic [[siltstone]] of the [[Mercia Mudstone Group#Tarporley Siltstone Formation|Tarporley Siltstone Formation]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://nora.nerc.ac.uk/3567/1/CR02109N.pdf|title=Baseline Report Series: 2.

The bedrock is not usually visible, as it is at the summit of Thurstaston Hill.
