Mossley Hill West & Sefton Park

Interactive map displaying Mossley Hill West & Sefton Park

About

Sefton Park covers roughly 235 acres in south Liverpool, with tree-lined drives, an ornamental boating lake and a series of footpaths that loop through specimen trees and open lawns. The Palm House, a Victorian glasshouse completed in 1896, sits beside the lake and is used for plant displays and occasional concerts. A bandstand and formal planting beds provide focal points for weekend activity, while ducks and waterfowl are a constant presence on the lake.

Mossley Hill West is largely residential, with terraces and villas dating from the late 19th and early 20th centuries and a small parade of shops, cafés and pubs serving day-to-day needs. Penny Lane runs through the ward and is visible in street-level details here. Local bus routes link the area with other parts of the city, and many streets end at the park, so everyday life often moves between homes, local services and Sefton Park's paths and open spaces.
