Calderstones Park in Liverpool’s Allerton district is a 94‑acre, Grade II listed green space renowned for its blend of natural beauty, historic features, and community life. Named after the ancient Calder Stones—Neolithic sandstone boulders thought to be older than Stonehenge—the park is also home to the legendary Allerton Oak, a thousand‑year‑old tree once said to have hosted medieval court sessions. Landscaped gardens, including Japanese and Old English styles, frame a large boating lake, woodlands, and open lawns. The park incorporates the Harthill Botanical Gardens, with thousands of plant species from around the world, and the restored Mansion House, now run by The Reader as a hub for literature, events, and dining. Family attractions include the Storybarn, a miniature railway, and the Linda McCartney Playground. Open year‑round, Calderstones Park offers a rich mix of heritage, horticulture, and recreation, making it one of Liverpool’s most cherished public spaces.
