We owe a lot to the Victorians who had the foresight to preseve "green lungs" in our cities,indeed the Victorian was in many ways a "Golden Age" of public parks. Liverpool, despite the ill informed image of a drab,industrialised,port city has a number of fine public green spaces and parks including the vast expanse of Sefton Park. This large park - it covers some 269 acres- is a wonderful example of the clever illusion of a rural area in a big city. The verdant grasslands blend into trees, there are meandering streams, rock pools, a majestic lake with swans and one of Sefton's pride and joys, an exotic looking Palm House which houses very exotic plant species. This glass edifice is a delight for sore eyes-three tiered glass domes rest on an octagonal base of highly polished red granite. Go inside and you will encounter huge palms and thoroughly beautiful marble statues.
If you want to work out after a night of excess in the bistros and pubs in Lark Lane or Hardman Street then Sefton Park is a great place to make tracks for. If you love peace and quiet and want to escape from the noise and bustle of traffic, then again head to Sefton Park. If you want somewhere delightful to read your newspaper or eat your sandwiches, Sefton Park is for you. In short Sefton Park is a lovely piece of verdant,lush,greenery in the City of Liverpool and when the weather is fine is a marvellous spot to spend a peaceful hour or two.
Advantages: Verdant. Close to city centre. Peaceful Disadvantages: Not any I can think of
Liverpool,contrary to a lot of misinformed opinion, has a surprisingly large amount of green space and one of the nicest parks that is close to the city centre just has to be Princes Park.This is a verdant,expanse with some gorgeous flowers and just the place to relax for an hour or two.
It was the first park in the urban area of the city and was designed by none other than Sir Joseph Paxton who became internationally famous as the architect of the Crystal Palace in London. Actually, Princes Park was his very first commission; that was back in 1842. The person who asked Paxton to design Princes Park was a very wealthy Liverpool philanthropist named Richard Vaughan Yates-he had earlier purchased 90 acres of land from the Earl of Sefton and he decided a park should be created but houses would be ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Princes Park
Advantages: Friendly local in a really nice area of the 'pool Disadvantages: A bit pokey and smokey getting a seat is no jokey
When i lived around SeftonPark, this was one of my various locals. Situated on the fantastic Lark Lane this was one of the best Sunday chill out places where you could meet your mates and get absolutely ratted. A sort of traditonal pub with wood floors and bar staff that are your bessie mates, little cubicles and wonky tables this place comes into it's own just by it's customers. Locals, students, hippies, professionals, lay-abouts everyone is welcome here and their own little stories, habits and manerisms are all etched into this pub. OK the designers weren't going for comfort or the ability to not getting in anyones way no matter where or how you place yourself but hey I'll put up with that for the sheer warmth of the place. ...

This bar is loacted in lark Lane, which is approximately two miles outside the city centre on the edge of Seftonpark.
It is always packed and you have great difficulty getting a table at most tiems but especially on a Sunday afternoon - which is my favourite time to go.
The food that is served is of a very high quality and has some nice unusual twists. It is also excellent value for money.
Draft beers are not served however they do, do botles and have an excellent selection of wine - which I must say I have sampled in great quantities and numerous occasions!!
keith's wine bar is also complemented by an excellent selection of other restaurants and bars in Lark lane itself so if you want some other variety then the choice is there. ...
