These gardens should be everyone's go-to in Liverpool

Coming off Otterspool promenade and into the gardens, I'll be honest, it was uninviting initially, to say the least. There was a distinct lack of colour, personality and charm - even on a sunny afternoon.

It did, however, quickly become apparent to me I had entered the gardens’ woodland trials and needed to venture my way through the slightly overgrown dull grass and countless frail wooden branches to make it to the hidden treasure. The garden's beauty became more evident the further you went in. The foliage, made up mostly of dainty orchids and vibrant pink lilies, pleasingly compliment one another and the sun sparkled just the perfect amount in the shallow water.

Four decades on and several of the original features are still in place within the amazing centrepiece, including the red pagoda and a moon wall - both, of which helped lift the gardens' spirits alongside the birdsong. The subtle waterfalls completed the peaceful atmosphere.
