When I saw this statue at the Otterspool Promenade, Liverpool, UK, I thought it was the statue of Nandi. However, a closer look revealed that it was made by one Mr Dhruva Mistry to commemorate the 1984 International Garden Festival held in Liverpool. The moustache and the highlighted eyes appear to be a later addition of miscreants. Given the Indian antecedents of the sculptor it is clear that his inspiration was our Nandi. The bull sits facing the Mersey river on a 5 mile promenade which is exclusively reserved for walkers/cyclists. As I was staying very close to the promenade I used to walk/cycle daily. On one of the walks I came across dolphins playing in the river. The other company I had was a variety of friendly pet dogs with their polite owners. The name Otterspool came from the fact that otters used to inhabit the area at some point of time. Liverpool is famous for the Beatles and the prominent football club. The ill- fated HMS Titanic, belonging to the White Star Line, was registered in Liverpool and so carried the city's name on her stern. On the darker side, Liverpool was the slave-trading capital of Britain and there is presently a museum dedicated to the theme. .

Lovely area of Liverpool. Nice pub/restaurant for friendly food and drink with good free parking. Lots of disabled parking spaces to use and good for disabled use ramp options not many stairs. Great for dog walking which is what I use the prom for taking my dog and son along the prom ending up at the little park for a quick play before a quick walk through the wooded area which the kids love to explore and climb about not to mention the dog loves all the scents, sounds and sights. Lots of friendly people about and even a skate park ramp tucked to one side for the teens to use but also be out the way of anyone wanting a quiet walk. Lots of people use the grassy field areas (lots of different sections facing the water front) for picnics, resting and kids playing around on the grass with balls etc. area is always lovely and clean I tend to visit times when the kids are in school or early in the day time so I can always guarantee lots of parking spaces and a nice quiet walk which is so beautiful on sunny days. Make it your mission to find the ‘why don’t you’ filming building, the little tunnel up high and the massive red cow for something different

No denying it, maybe not quite five star but well on the way, such is the pace of change taking place in and around Liverpool and its dockland suburbs right now. Nothing better than a walk or cycle along the prom to the pier head and back; much further if you have the stamina and a bike more substantial than a hire cycle. Take the ferry to the other side of the river to top off your day. Spend some time at Woodside ferry terminal, drop in on the U-boat story; it's free. Enjoy lunch on the Upper sundeck seating area before returning on the ferry to the Pier Head. Enjoy a leisurely ride or walk back to Otterspool. Sunshiny days obligatory for the best time. You could even call over to Liverpool One for window shopping and refreshments before you go anywhere near a ferry terminal. There is so much to see.

Great promenade to go on a walk along, especially at sunset, you can get some great views over the Wirral. Can become busy, especially with bikes and electric scooters (and on occasion people fishing) but well worth the visit. Easy to access from public transport using Aigbuth and St Michaels (through the festival gardens) train stations although neither currently offer step free access. You can also use Brunswick station with a 10-15 minute walk along the main rain (this station has some step free access but still not accessible to all). There are also carparks but they get very busy even in colder months.

It's great for wide open spaces! There's no shortage of space for outdoor activities, a picnic or bringing the kids. There's a few restaurants dotted along which usually are open aswell as smaller venders like Ice cream vans and a couple of coffee sort of things. Great for running, biking or just a nice relaxing afternoon. You can walk right the path along to liverpool city center (we done it slowly in about an hour!) And there's always beautiful views, especially if you get the weather! The nearest station is Aigbuth which isn't far at all!

Love Otterspool Prom been going there for years. Sit in your car and take in the view any weather . Great play ground with climbing equipment for kids, or older kids can go to skate park. Very dog friendly can even get a drink for them at cafe. Cafe has a good selection of food, drink and delicious ice cream 🍦 There is a clean restroom in the cafe. Plenty of out side picnic area's or sit on grass. Always lots to see kites on windy days, or there are other fun things if you have spare cash for the kids, an adventure park. Enjoy 😉
