Croxteth Hall and Country Park

Croxteth Hall
4.2879 miles around Croxteth Hall and Country Park today. 

The route can be see in full at...

It wasn't exactly as planned, but only because of an alley gate that blocked our route.

That said the route walked was very enjoyable, a lot of which was through woodland. (Dam and Craven Woods)

Good paths, shaded from the heat of the sun we saw lots of evidence of squirrel feeding. Lots of wild flowers and,near the motorway, M57, the views over the scrub-land,  as we walked along the stream, were very pretty.

Cutting up,away from the stream we passed a number of ponds; the bull rushes were particularly impressive.

Back at the Hall, we enjoyed refreshments, in the form of coffee, in the old stable courtyard, before heading home.

A really nice walk. 
Note: There are many things to do at Croxteth Hall & Country Park, that I've not mentioned in this post. e.g. when we went there were donkey rides. No I didn't!
