8. Sefton Park

Travel a short distance south of Liverpool’s city centre and you’ll find this expansive and historic park. Spanning 95 hectares (235 acres), Sefton Park is one of the largest green spaces in the city and dates back to the 15th century. The early park was part of the sprawling deer park that once encompassed the area. The current park’s landscape was designed and constructed in 1872. The scenic circular paths that wind around the lake in the park’s centre are owed to a French landscape architect who won a design competition for re-imagining the park. Sefton Park is an ideal spot for picnicking by the lake, wandering through the warm palm house or watching a series of open-air performances.
