New slip road, Tarbock Island This is the new connecting slip road being constructed from the M57 to the eastbound M62. The bridge over the existing motorway carried the colliery branch railway from Cronton Colliery to the Liverpool and Manchester main line at Huyton Quarry.

In the foreground, recently planted saplings along the new cyclepath on Carr Lane which was once a dead end (and a bit of a lover's lane!) but has recently been opened as a bypass and access road for the busy Cables Retail Park. A car park has been provided for the fishing pond and the whole area given a new lease of life.

4. 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.
