is one of the largest parks in England. The park's history began in 1867
when the Liverpool Corporation purchased land for the park from the Earl of

Sefton Park in Liverpool
is arguably the best known and most loved by locals. The magnificent
200-acre Park looks like a natural landscape rather than a man-made park. In

residents from across the city and carpets of bluebells give an impression
of rural permanence. The park features many distinctive curved paths and
driveways and beech and other indigenous British trees abound. Amongst the
park's many features are a boating lake, replica statues of Eros and Peter
Pan and a café. The park is also home to the famous Palm House, a fabulous
glass-panelled building that has been restored to its former glory.
