We’ve pretty beaches on both sides of the water. At Crosby Beach you’ll find, ‘Another Place’, stunning sculptural artwork by Antony Gormley and over at National Trust’s Formby Beach you can meet furry friends at the Red Squirrel Reserve.

In Wirral you’ll find picturesque Birkenhead Park and the Hilbre Islands. The Hilbre Islands are designated local nature reserves where you can partake in some bird watching (and sometimes even seals!) The islands are cut off for up to five hours out of every twelve, so be sure to check the tides before visiting.

You’ll find details on Liverpool’s top outdoor spaces for exploring, picnicking and relaxing below. During these times please be aware that beaches and gardens in particular are busier than usual.
