Country Park

Enjoy a peaceful stroll in the country, surrounded by magnificent woodland, grazing livestock and traditional cottages. The landscape here has changed little in over a century.
 
Miles of paths throughout the park allow you to escape the crowds for a breath of fresh air.

The Park is an excellent place to see wildlife - the birdsong and wild flowers will soon make you forget you are only six miles from the City Centre. Croxteth Country Park contained Liverpool's first Local Nature Reserve - Mull Wood. This LNR has recently been expanded to almost double the size and is now called Croxteth Local Nature Reserve. Volunteers frequently come along and join in events to help us improve habitats in the LNR. See our event listings for further details.

Take care
As you explore the Country Park please take care of yourself and those with you. Croxteth Country Park is here to be enjoyed by people of all ages and interests. Please leave only footprints and take only photographs and memories so that future generations can continue to enjoy all teh park has to offer.
Croxteth Home Farm animals graze in the fields. Please ensure that your dogs are kept under very close control and do net let them into the farm fields. Pick up after your dogs and put their waste in the bins provided.
We want you to enjoy your visit, but please be aware there are natural hazards in the countryside. Some of the water is deep; some plants and insects can sting; tree roots and low branches can catch you unawares.

Children will love the adventure playground and all ages can learn to ride at the Earl's former Stables.

Jungle Parc is an exciting new adventure activity area in part of Croxteth's woodlands. Jungle Parc will give everyone (minimum height 1.05m) the opportunity to swing, glide and climb through the trees! This really is a unique opportunity; Croxteth's Jungle Parc is the first of its kind in the UK!!!

People walking in the countryside and woodlands have been asked to keep an eye out for a particularly destructive pest called the Citrus Longhorn Beetle. This distinctive beetle can cause severe damage to a wide variety of trees and shrubs. It is about 2.5cms long, and with the long antennae is very distinctive. If you do happen to see one, please check the poster and contact the Food and Environment Research Agency on the number shown.
