Halewood Park
Halewood Park, or the ‘Triangle’ as it is known locally, is an oasis of naturally regenerating oak – birch woodland surrounded by the urban sprawl of Halewood. The area was once a busy railway junction with sidings, which enclosed a triangular piece of land, hence the local name. It was an important junction as lines from Halewood went north, to Southport, east to Manchester and west to Liverpool.
