About

Waterloo sits along the Sefton coastline, facing the Irish Sea. The area is defined by its lengthy promenade and expansive beach, which is part of the wider Crosby coastal system. This stretch is a mix of residential streets and local commercial hubs centred around South Road. The landscape is largely flat, with the natural backdrop of the marine environment shaping daily life.

The beach here is notably home to Antony Gormley's "Another Place" installation. One hundred cast-iron figures stand permanently on the sands, facing the horizon. This feature draws visitors and influences the area's character alongside its sailing club and golf links. The setting provides views across the Mersey estuary towards the Wirral peninsula and Liverpool's distant skyline.
