Birkenhead Park

Birkenhead Park was designed by Sir Joseph Paxton. His concept was to create an idealised countryside landscape of open meadows and naturalistic woodland belts. The lakes are shaped to appear as sinuous rivers with views across them to features such as the Boathouse and Swiss Bridge.

This was the first public park to be created in this country in 1847. It later became the model for New York's famous Central Park in America.
