00:00 The Sunday Times calls Sefton Park one of the loveliest urban parks in the country.
00:06 And I would have to agree.
00:08 A sprawling grade one historic green space spread over 235 acres, it's a green flag and
00:13 green heritage awarded site with beautiful features and monuments.
00:18 The jewel of the site is a grade two listed Sefton Park Palm House.
00:22 Built in 1896, it reopened its doors to visitors in 2001 and has since enjoyed a new lease
00:28 of life as a lively arts and cultural venue.
00:32 Lark Lane's bursting with vibrant independent eateries and even bigger characters.
00:39 This bohemian street has restaurants and quirky shops aplenty with some great history.
00:45 Not much more than 500 yards from end to end, it encapsulates the spirit of the city.
00:51 You are never short of fantastic places to eat on the lane with Mexican, Turkish, Italian
00:56 to name just a few.
00:58 The casual dining scene has really blown up over the years here.
01:02 Famous for their halloumi fries, hafla hafla, which means party party in Arabic, serves
01:06 up Middle Eastern inspired street food.
01:09 During the pandemic when we couldn't get inside our favourite eateries, the council provided
01:14 pavement licences which have stuck around meaning you can dine al fresco if the weather
01:20 is in your favour.
01:21 How very European.
01:23 It's part of Liverpool's great public transport links to both the city centre and the airport.
01:28 You can either hop on a bus with an adult single costing no more than just £2.
01:33 If you prefer to travel by train, the Merseyrail network is another great way to discover the
01:38 city with St Michael's within walking distance.
01:41 Alternatively, you can hop on a Voight e-scooter, though all users must have at least a provisional
01:46 driving licence and don't drink and ride.
01:50 Living in one of the leafy streets here, you can almost guarantee you're in the best place
01:55 to enjoy all our city has to offer.
