Liverpool is one of the cultural crown jewels of England. Thousands visit from around the world to walk the streets immortalised by the cities most famous sons: The Beatles. The grand buildings standing regally along the dockyards embody the city’s maritime history.
But the city’s hidden gems are the collection of parks and open spaces, which were described by the Register of Historic Parks as the most important in the country. Boasting sprawling country estates and epic golden beaches, the city has everything a dog could desire.
Here are our top five picks for the best dog walks in Liverpool.
Sefton Park
Sefton Park is the largest in Liverpool and lies to the south of the city. Once part of the historic Royal Deer Park, in 1872 it was opened ‘for the health and enjoyment of the townspeople.’ The park is renowned for its excellence, winning both the Green Flag and Green Heritage awards for its stunning features and monuments.
It is hardly surprising that the vast 235-acre park is popular with dog walkers. Your dog will happily spend hours exploring the park’s delights, from the babbling waters of the Fairy Glen to the gloomy caves of Old Nick.
