Kenyons Cross is just 20 minutes’ drive from the picturesque Merseyside coastline which includes Crosby Beach; famous for its art installation ‘Another Place’, a group of 100 cast-iron statues extending into the sea by the sculptor Antony Gormley, Crosby Beach offers spectacular views over the Wirral. Further north is Formby Beach, a National Trust-protected coastal haven for nature and wildlife, where you can see prehistoric footprints and even shipwrecks.
Liverpool’s diverse cultural scene and buzzing nightlife needs no introduction, but whether you’d like to explore museums and art galleries, enjoy live music and theatre, or hit the bars and clubs until the early hours, this cosmopolitan city is just a short drive or train journey from your new home in Lydiate.
Closer to home, everyday leisure facilities can be found in Maghull at the Meadows Leisure Centre, while golfers can choose from several nearby courses including Mossock Hall Golf Club and Aintree Golf Centre. Aintree is also home to the world-famous Grand National, held annually at its racecourse just four miles from Kenyons Cross.
