I travelled to the start point on foot. Parking is limited around the Childwall Abbey Rd Entrance to the park. You may need to park in one of the surrounding side streets.

"Childwall Woods has remained largely unchanged since they were planted in the 1700s, however, through the years their name has changed as have their owners. The woods were originally the grounds of Childwall Hall the seat of a wealthy landowner and were known as The Grounds. They extended from Childwall Abbey Road to The Black Wood, which goes back to the 1600s."
