Sefton Park & Palm House
Sefton Park
Liverpool's largest Victorian park, with lakes, lawns and an octagonal glass palm house. It is the local residents' weekend backyard.
Sefton Park covers about 95 hectares and opened in 1872. It was designed in the French landscape style and features lakes, ravines, caves and wide lawns. The Palm House, completed in 1896, is a three-story octagonal cast-iron and glass greenhouse filled with tropical plants and a statue of an explorer. Entry is free, though it may close on event days. Music festivals and outdoor film screenings are often held here in summer. The park is about 4 kilometers from the city center and can be reached by bus. It pairs well with nearby Penny Lane.
