St.Helens Countryside

An eclectic mix of glorious countryside, fascinating heritage, vibrant nightlife and quality sporting events, St.Helens has something to offer everyone. Located midway between the cosmopolitan cities of Liverpool and Manchester, this thriving borough is the perfect base from which to explore the whole of the Northwest and beyond.

Glorious, scenic and tranquil - these three words sum up the beautiful countryside that's waiting to be discovered. There are 16 parks to explore, each with its own unique personality, ranging from the peaceful Taylor Park to the breathtaking Carr Mill Dam to the summit of Billinge Hill with its panoramic views across to Wales and the Cheshire Plain.

In a Borough that is 65% rural, there is plenty of scope for countryside recreation.

Enjoy the spectacular view from the Top of Billinge Hill out across the Lancashire Plain to North Wales and the sea. Follow the Sankey Valley Nature Trail, amble around picturesque Carr Mill Dam - Merseyside's largest inland body of water, or visit one of the Borough's many Victorian parks ...

Discover unique heritage at the home of the Rainhill Trials by visiting the multi-award winning attraction The World of Glass for its spectacular multimedia presentation and live glass blowing. And you simply can't miss the fascinating new Northwest Museum of Road Transport with its unique and extensive collection of vintage buses and road vehicles.
