then off along Gorsey Lane. Keep on across Poulton Road into Oxton Road then take the next right into Love Lane by the primary school. This is a cul-de-sac but has good parking possibilities. If you take the walkway at the end of the road it brings you out at some greens - Liscard’s is one of them!

From Tranmere Rovers go up hill in St Stephens church direction 100 yards before traffic lights and just after telephone exchange turn left into club access road. If you turn before tel exchange you end up in the allotments. I've already done
the joke about the greens being just as good there - so don't bother.
Royden Hall
Frankby Road, Wirral CH48 1PP
This can be tricky! As you head towards West Kirby on Frankby Road from Greasby, just before the bend right and the junction with Hillbark Road there’s a track left called 'the Nook' by a small triangular village green and a cluster of buildings .

Your main entry to the park is in Dunraven Road which is next left and ends at the park gates. You might have some luck there if early.
