Brotherton Park and Dibbinsdale
Located on the Wirral Peninsula between the Mersey and the Dee on the eastern side, near the Mersey. Brotherton Park is the former parkland surrounding the site of a Victorian “Villa” named Woodslee. It has many fine exotic trees and a walled garden containing an orchard & tree nursery. Dibbinsdale is the valley containing the river Dibbin. Once the boundary between the Saxon South and the Norse North. It is now on the boundary between urban housing and farmland. It consists of an SSSI (Site of Special Scientific Interest), Ancient Woodland, reed beds and a meadow field.
Be aware that if it has rained heavily in the previous 24 hours some paths, especially the tunnel under the railway can be many inches deep in water & the path surface damaged.
