Love this place, farm staff are amazing, friendly and knowledgeable, the animals are stunning and the cafe is great too, the Christmas market in the court yard was an amazing surprise, great stalls and vendors. Definitely worth a visit and we will be coming back
Not just a park — a world to explore I live just a 20-minute walk away through the old bridle paths that wind behind the estates. It’s not just the convenience that draws me in — it’s the scale and character. Croxteth isn’t a simple green space; it’s a place you explore, not visit. I've come into the grounds from nearly every possible direction over the years. One path leads into the village beside the church. Another exits near the adjacent housing estates. You don’t realise how vast it is until you start walking — the whole park opens up into woodlands, open fields, and tucked-away remnants of the past. There’s the old ice house — partially buried, almost missed unless you’re looking. A relic of a different age, where in winter, ice was harvested from the pond and packed down into the stone-lined chamber to keep cool through the summer months. You can still find it if you follow the less-travelled woodland paths near the pond’s edge. It feels like stumbling onto a secret every time. The estate grounds are extensive and laced with shaded walkways. Some lead you past grazing fields, others into denser woods with twisting tree roots and overgrown clearings. There's a Parkrun route here — 5km — planned and marked for regulars, though I’ve always preferred drifting off the path, choosing silence and bird calls over the rhythm of runners. Croxteth Hall itself stands dignified in the centre — a beautiful stately home, still open to the public at times if you catch it right. Not a museum with a turnstile feel — it’s more intimate, like you’ve been allowed inside someone’s family history. The rooms hold character and age, and the volunteers inside genuinely care about the place. There are also the animal farm and walled gardens nearby. They’re more family-focused, but well-kept and worth a look if you’re in that part of the grounds. It all flows together — estate, gardens, farm, fields, and forests — with nothing feeling disconnected or out of place. What makes Croxteth unique is how alive it feels. Even when it’s quiet, there’s an energy here — the layering of time, the presence of nature reclaiming and reshaping the paths, and the human imprint still etched into the architecture and planning. It’s history and growth coexisting. Even on the busiest days, there’s always a quiet corner. It’s a park where you can lose hours. Where runners train, families picnic, dog walkers loop the trails, and those of us nearby come to just… exist. I’ve seen the seasons change here like a calendar drawn in colour and sound. I’ve walked it under crisp autumn leaves, fresh winter frost, and summer light through the trees so dappled it makes you stop mid-step. This is more than a park to me — it’s a landscape I grew into. A place that gives back whatever time you’re willing to spend in it.
Really great plac go and visit kids have fantastic time with the animals petting the rabbits feeding the animals food buy at the entrance need more then one bucket
The route here was challenging and we didn't see a single brown sign. Google maps told me that I had arrived when I was in Stockbridge Village. Anyway this place is brilliant. The hall itself was closed but the farm is fantastic. Loads of really great animals to interact with all really well kept with space to roam and do what animals do. The park is huge and the walled garden is beautiful, probably even more so in the summer.
Very nice grounds and playground. The wall garden was very beautiful. The farm is always a hit with little ones. The building and pond are not as taken carebof as a few years ago but still nice. A great day out for the family
We love this place. Lovely if you want a nice long walk, they've got a path that more or less goes right around the outside of the whole place. Takes a good hour or two. They really, REALLY need to fix the rest of the drive in though. They've done a lot of work on it recently but there's still a big bit full of holes near the car park - if you hit one of them you might lose a wheel lol.
Excellent for early morning walks, jogs or cycling. Very peaceful and quiet, later on gets quite busy though. It is an excellent green space for the area! Just watch out for litter... the only down side.
Went for the first time ever today for Parkrun. Lovely scenic park and I would return. Plenty of free parking at 9am. However please note the access road is poorly maintained with numerous potholes and severe speed bumps like mountains. I went over at approximately 3-4 mph and they were horrific. If you have a car with a low front end this access road is awful. Apart from that this is a nice park and I would return
Lovely park with lots of animals and beautiful things to see around the grounds and a couple of kids parks to keep everyone entertained. The hall itself is spectacular to look at and has an ice cream and don't van next to it to fill your boots when it gets too warm or too cold. Free car parking too! A great day out for all.
