The Law Oak

Calderstones Park in Liverpool, UK is home to an infamous tree said to be about 1,000 years old. Known as the ‘Law Oak’ (or the ‘Allerton Oak’), stories say that before official buildings, it was used as an outdoor courtroom of sorts. At large, Calderstones Park itself is said to be even older than the infamous Stonehenge monument.

Additionally, Calderstones Park has a lake, where kids and families can feed geese and ducks rice balls. The park incorporates the Harthill Botanical Gardens, which features an array of almost 4,000 species of plants. Mansion House on the grounds provides visitors with access to a cafe and an additional child-friendly play area.
