"Head to south Liverpool and take a nice brisk stroll around Allerton Tower Park!. This beautiful 35-acre park is perfect for a stroll to take your mind off studying, although it’s quiet and often overlooked, it’s a great place to wind down. The space became a public park in 1927 and has a somewhat mysterious vibe to it, it can be quite spooky too!"

"Despite becoming a park back in 1927, this stunning 35-acre estate seems to be a bit of a secret. Take a visit and you’ll find the spectacular footprint of Allerton Manor still remaining along with walled gardens, the orangery, old lodge, micro-mazes and stables. We think it’s time you shared in Allerton Towers secluded South Liverpool splendour!"
