Croxteth Hall and Country Park

The historic Hall and Country Park provide a great resource for days out and leisure activities for all ages.  Formerly the home of the Earls of Sefton, it is now one of the stars of Liverpool's fine cultural heritage.  

At its simplest, the Park is a great place for a peaceful stroll on paths around the historic pastureland and woodland.  It makes a good venue for bird-watching and generally enjoying the countryside on your doorstep.  

A visit to the historic Hall and its fine rooms is like stepping back in time to the age of Edwardian elegance.  The figures in the rooms 'talk', allowing you to listen in to the 'upstairs downstairs' gossip of a country house party - you can even smell the food cooking!  

Just next to the Hall is the Victorian Walled Garden, a fascinating place hidden behind high brick walls.  Inside you can see one of the great kitchen gardens of the past, with ornamental fruit trees, flower borders, greenhouses and even a mushroom house!  Keen gardeners will seek inspiration for their own plot - or you can simply soak up the peaceful atmosphere.

Home Farm was the Earl's favourite, an opportunity to keep and show fine and unusual farm animals.  This tradition continues today, with the Farm holding a collection of some of Britain's rarest breeds of livestock, including cattle sheep and pigs.  

All year round the old country estate holds a series of events, guided tours and activities, with something for everyone, making it the biggest events programme on Merseyside.
