Arrowe Country Park

0151 677 7594

Arrowe Country Park comprises some 250 acres of open parkland and deciduous woodland. Another 150 acres is taken up by an adjacent municipal 18 hole golf course and formal areas.

The park woodland contains many fine examples of Oak, Ash and Beech as well as conifers such as Scots Pine and Cedar. Some of its more unusual trees include Redwood, Cedar of Lebanon, Maidenhair and Indian Bean tree.

The woodland birds include Rooks, Magpies, Jays, Nuthatches, Tree Creepers and Great and Lesser Spotted Woodpeckers.

Areas of grassland and woodland edges are now being cared for as wildflower meadows which attract butterflies such as Small Heath, Skipper and Speckled Wood at the woodland edge.

The lake and brook provide a habitat for various species of birds, and those prepared to wait long enough may catch sight of a kingfisher as it darts along the brook.

Ponds scattered throughout the park are breeding grounds for a variety of pond life including frogs, newts, damsel and dragonflies.

Arrowe Country Park is situated in the centre of the Wirral Peninsula between the rural and urban areas and is easily reached by public transport and is the gateway to Wirral’s Countryside.
