Great place to walk around and see the estuary. There are plenty of birds around. I saw Canada Geese with chicks. It is easily accessible via car and bus. There is a car park, although, I have to say it requires a major rubbish pick-up session. It is easily accessible by bus and the bus stop is quite near.
Great place for walking, especially with the dog not to overcrowded so quite a peaceful setting, you can walk down the runway from the old Speke Airport and see planes landing or taking off (not so peaceful lol) from John Lennon airport. You can also get to Speke Hall too.
We absolutely love it here. But I feel like every time we visit there is less and less of it, with the land being taken for warehouses and distribution centres. Such a shame as there is so much wildlife here. We need to protect what is left of it so animals and people can continue to enjoy it. You can walk for hours here and explore so many different types of habitat. Excellent for bird watching! But there are many other critters here too. There's also now a bin in the carpark, so please clean up after your dogs 👍
The parking lot is never full and there is a bin there, cute spot to rest. It loses a star for the amount of dog poo (and I'm there to walk my dog). It is also very gravelly so not super ideal for fussy pups but Noddy likes the cool breeze on a hot day and to be able to cool his paws. Anyone going in please stick to the concrete jetty and don't try the sandy bits. It can be dangerous so I keep my dog on the lead and make sure we stay on the hard concrete jetty.
A great walk along the banks of the Mersey down as far as Liverpool Airport and Speke Hall. At the end are the concrete taxiways of the old airport which are excellent for a quick game of football! Beware the limited parking at busy times (hence the 4 stars above rather than 5).
