Police investigating a wildfire in Parkgate are appealing for further information from members of the public.
A blaze which covered 500 square metres of marshland engulfed the popular Wirral beauty spot last Saturday, requiring six fire engines to tackle the blaze.
Three teenage boys, two aged 13 and one aged 14, were arrested on suspicion of arson on Monday but all have been released on conditional bail.
Detectives are now keen to hear from a woman who was walking her dog in the area and spoke to a group of teenagers shortly before the fire broke out.
They also want to speak to a man and woman who were in Parkgate at the time and believed to have spoken to a group of teens and taken photographs.
Anyone who may have been in the locality is being urched to check their CCTV or any other footage taken around 6.20pm on the evening in question.
People living in Manorial Road, Manorial Road South, Moorside Lane and Parkgate Road are being asked to check any footage they may have.
Detective Sergeant Kevin Green, of Ellesmere Port local policing unit, said: “The investigation is still ongoing and we’re continuing to appeal for information and CCTV footage.
“I am particularly keen to speak to three members of the public who were in the area at the time and encourage them to come forward as they may have information which could help with our investigation.
“I know a lot of people took videos and photographs of the fire and I would ask people who did to submit it through to us as it could also assist with our enquiries.”
If you have information, CCTV or dash-cam footage, contact Cheshire Police online or call 101 quoting IML 1226437.
