Description

Liverpool often isn’t given enough credit for its countryside surroundings. Just a stone’s throw from the city, you’ll find some awesome places. This is one of the best walks near Liverpool to take it all in.

This route is seven miles long, taking two to three hours to complete. It encompasses woodland, parks, and gardens. It’s best to start from the Mansion House at Calderstones Park, a historic building now owned by The Reader group. Literature fans should definitely check this out for a unique experience.

Anyway, the walk loops back around to Calderstones Park. But before that, it passes through Allerton Towers, Clarke Gardens, Reynolds Park, Camp Hill, and Woolton Woods. This should give you a pretty broad range of places to discover.

Childwall Woods is an additional, lesser-known area to explore. It’s a nature reserve, and a peaceful, quieter part of one of the most popular Liverpool walks.
