Croxteth Local Nature Reserve

Located within Croxteth Country Park and only six miles from the city centre, Croxteth Local Nature Reserve really is a piece of the countryside come to town.
The site consists of a mix of open meadows, mature woodland and quiet pathways with plenty of wildlife to see and hear. The Reserve is there for visitors to discover a new side to this popular country park.
The park is also unusual for its wide variety of wetland habitats — particularly ponds. These wetlands provide excellent habitat for a wide range of dragonflies and damselflies whilst elsewhere within the park, the dense bankside vegetation of the river provides ideal conditions for mammals such as water voles.
If you’re a nature and wildlife enthusiast and are within the Norh West region or coming for a visit from afar, this is definitely a must see for admirers of natural wonder at its most charming.
