Speke and Garston Coastal Reserve
Speke and Garston Coastal Reserve (entrances: Blackburne Street; Speke Boulevard at Banks Road), Liverpool, L24 1XD · Liverpool
A 70-acre stretch of Mersey shoreline running from Garston Docks to Liverpool John Lennon Airport, with estuary views, salt marsh and mudflats full of wading birds. The council lists plane spotting as one of the things to do here - planes come in low over the reserve to the airport runway. No café or toilets are listed, so bring snacks and wellies; links onto the Mersey Way and Trans Pennine Trail.
