Sutton Manor Woodland and The Dream

1.74 miles (2.8 km)

Ordnance Survey Map Open Streetmap This walk visits the popular Sutton Manor Woodland Park in St Helens.
The park has been constructed on the site of the old Sutton Manor Colliery and includes a number of pleasant footpaths. On the site you'll also find a fine viewpoint with the eye catching 'Dream Sculpture' as the centrepiece of the park. The 20 metre high white sculpture is quite a sight and one of the highlights of the area.
It's easy to extend the walk by heading a short distance to the east where you'll find Clock Face Country Park. There's more well maintained paths and a lake with a fishery here. A little further afield to the west is Stadt Moers Park where there's 220 acres to explore on bike or foot.
