21 members of the walking group set off from St Michaels station this morning in beautiful Spring sunshine.

During the course of the walk the layers came off, with many of the group finishing the walk in short sleeves! Following the path from the station we walked up the very cosmopolitan Lark Lane with its eclectic mix of bars and restaurants, and made our way to Princes Park.  Continue reading

Garden visits – Bodnant

A garden visit to Bodnant Garden National Trust has been arranged for Wednesday 16th May 2018.  Born in the gentle hills east of the River Conwy, the garden’s beauty is complemented by the stunning, panoramic views across the river to the Mountains of Snowdonia and the perfect place for a wonderful and enjoyable day out for everyone. The garden’s beauty is stunning with rhododendrons, magnolias, camellias and azaleas. The Garden’s most  famous feature is the stunning, yellow cascade of the Laburnum Arch – hoping it’s flowering for our visit.  There is also a cafe and gift shop.

We will first stop at Tweedmill for time to look around and maybe for morning coffee.

Cost of trip  – NT members £14 Non NT members  £24.  

Depart  Maghull Square – 9 am.  Return  6 pm approx
