Croxteth Park

Croxteth Park sits in the north of Liverpool, formed around a large post-war council estate and the adjoining country park. The area includes local shops, primary schools, bus links into the city and community facilities. Streets are arranged in estates with small green spaces and play areas. There are sports pitches and community halls used by clubs and youth groups, and regular bus services link the neighbourhood to Liverpool centre and other suburbs.

At the heart is Croxteth Hall and Country Park, once the seat of the Molyneux family, Earls of Sefton. The estate covers around 500 acres and contains a walled kitchen garden and a working farm where heritage breeds are kept and shown to visitors. Paths run beside strips of woodland and open fields, and the hall’s service yard and outbuildings are visible from public routes. Guided walks, seasonal farm days and occasional community events are part of the park’s year-round programme.
