Hope this helps folks. If you're getting the train then get off at Bebington Station and leave via the car park....you're there! Any bus along the Old Chester Road goes past the station. Good luck.

We spent quite a while there and found it quite good, spent quite a time looking at the stuff from the pond including a reasonable size newt before going onto the Lever Art Gallery. I hope next year they have drinks stall, but the hotdogs were nice.
Did someone say butterflies?

First time I've been back on since then: Thankyou all for coming, we had over 400 visitors, the most the park has ever had at one time.
I was shattered but it was worth it, and for the record I saw 3 butterflies that day LOL
Come back on a sunny sunday and I guarantee you'll see lots, there were about 20 out the day before (typically) and as the summer goes on inevitably there'll be lots more.
You should have all made yourselves known, i wondered who turned up and who was who?
I was the ginger one serving the hotdogs
