About

Woolton is a suburb in the south of Liverpool centred on a village high street of shops, cafes and pubs. The area includes a conservation zone around St Peter’s Church, where a 1957 church fete brought John Lennon and Paul McCartney together. The churchyard contains a headstone marked Eleanor Rigby, which has been linked to the song of the same name. Housing in the area ranges from terraces to larger period properties, and the village hosts local markets and community groups that use the halls and green spaces nearby.

Green space is important to Woolton: Woolton Woods and Camp Hill Park provide walking routes, woodland rides and informal recreation. Paths from the village lead into those woods and connect to smaller allotments and playing fields used by schools and clubs. Public transport links run along the main roads, serving the local centre while keeping the village feel. Day-to-day life in Woolton tends to revolve around the high street, the church, and the wooded parkland that frames the southern edge of the suburb.
