The 500 acre (200 ha) Croxteth Country Park, an enclave of rural England within the outer suburbs of Liverpool, easily contains this 4½ mile (7 km) walk. Most of the walk gives the strong impression of being in the heart of the country. It also includes the historic Croxteth Hall, seat of the Earls of Sefton. It starts in West Derby village and it is worth spending some time having a look around the old village centre, where there are several pubs for refreshments. The way is on paved surfaces and firm paths; any sensible shoes will do.
