Halewood & the park
Halewood Triangle Park sits right outside our door: woods, ponds and paths shaped by the railways that once crossed here, with the Trans Pennine Trail running straight through.
The story of the Triangle
The park takes its triangle shape from 19th-century railway lines – the Cheshire Lines routes that met here. When the Liverpool Loop Line closed in 1964 the tracks were lifted, and the old line became a path for walkers and cyclists.
Today it is a Green Flag park and a Local Wildlife Site, with woodland, ponds and open grass. The Trans Pennine Trail, the coast-to-coast route across northern England, follows the old line right past the café. The main entrance is on Okell Drive, next to Halewood Environmental Centre, where you'll find us.
Walks from our door
Three routes that start and finish at our door. All are dog-friendly. Distances come from OpenStreetMap paths – we are walking each one to check.
