"Croxteth
Hall Country Park is at the heart of what was once a
great country estate stretching hundred of miles and
was the home of the Molyneux family - the Earls of Sefton.
It is now managed by the city of Liverpool and is one
of the major heritage centres of the North West, attracting
thousands of visitors every year." |

The
park is 5 miles from Liverpool city centre. |
| The
estate has three main attractions now: The Historic
Hall, Croxteth 成人快手 Farm and the Victorian Walled Garden. |
 |
When
the last Earl of Sefton died in 1972 half of the land was
sold off for housing leaving about 500 acres remaining which
became a country park.
The
park contains a mixture of mature woodland and paddocks.
Mull wood, which was Liverpool's first nature reserve, is
part of the park.
