Located in Port Sunlight just off the New Ferry by pass turn left into Bolton Road East and follow the road to the bottom.Car parking is available although the car park itself is small.There is also a wheelchair accessible car park.It is hard to believe that this was once a landfill site what an amazing transformation.The site itself is perfect for photographers,joggers,dog walkers,cyclists and families.The paths are well maintained and offer great views of the Liverpool skyline from the summit. Many of the famous landmarks can clearly be seen.There is an abundance of benches for people to sit down and a picnic area is available at the summit.There is also a coffee shop but this is currently closed due to the covid pandemic.There is also a lake surrounded with plenty of wildlife.Toilets are also available but again they are currently closed i think due to the covid pandemic.We spent about 40 minutes having a leisurely stroll around.It can be a bit nippy at the summit so warm clothes are advisable.Well worth a visit and well worth...
