 Popular promenade for walking or dining |
Otterspool Drive Liverpool, Merseyside L17 5AL United Kingdom +44 151 225 5925 |
A straight route from Albert Dock extends past the once celebrated Festival Gardens - currently awaiting new development - to a stretch of luscious parklands. The sloping hills and promenade provide plenty of space for walking, cycling and picnics. Set next to the waterfront, The Britannia Inn is a family-friendly pub that serves meals all day. Further along the park, The Otters Pool is an alternative choice for a light lunch or evening meal. The park is very popular in warm weather as people flock from miles away for a spot of kite flying, sunbathing and bird watching. Admission is free. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Magnificent palm house and historic statues |
Sefton Park Drive Liverpool, Merseyside L17 1AP United Kingdom +44 151 225 5925 |
Established in 1872, this is the city's largest and most famous park. Originally opened 1896, the Victorian palm house is a renowned land mark in the city and despite coming close to collapse in the 1980s, it was saved by a public appeal and is now undergoing a huge refurbishment due to a grant of over £1 million from the National Lottery. The park also has many beautiful statues, and although many of the original works are now in storage for safekeeping, you can still see a number of them around the park. Boasting a lake, numerous football pitches, a cricket club and a birdhouse, there is also a cafe in the central area. Admission is free. Review © 2007, Wcities |
