 Accessible golfing |
Allerton Road Mossley Hill Liverpool, Merseyside L18 3JT United Kingdom +44 151 428 7490 |
This golf club has probably one of the most beautiful courses in the North West. The less experienced golfers can play the short nine-hole course, while the demanding eighteen-hole is difficult but rewarding to players of a higher calibre. As a municipal golf course, it is accessible to the general public. The club has a very strong team and often places highly in the local rankings. In addition to club hire, other facilities include a bar, an eighteen-hole putting green and lessons from professional players. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Springwood Avenue Liverpool, Merseyside L25 7UN United Kingdom +44 151 494 2664 |
The gardens provide a large expanse of tranquil open space, ideal for picnics and ballgames. Something of a secret corner, this hideaway never seems to be crowded despite the fact that it has a lot to offer. A section of the garden is fenced off to house a collection of goats, geese, ponies, rabbits and guinea pigs. If you need enticing even further then there is the ultimate reason to visit, a Pub in the Park. Once a grand building for wedding receptions and functions, this listed building is now a delightful pub and restaurant. Families are very welcome and the beer garden is fully equipped with an adventure playground. Admission: free Review © 2007, Wcities |
