Rufford Old Hall (National Trust) is the county’s best-kept Saturday morning — a timber-framed great hall from the 1420s, formal gardens, and a Capability Brown landscape around the lake at Rufford New Hall nearby. Martin Mere Wetland Centre is spectacular in migration season; the winter starling murmurations over the meres are among the best in England. The Sefton Coast path runs the full length of the coastline from Crosby Beach — home to Antony Gormley’s Another Place installation — north through the Formby pinewoods and red squirrel reserve to Ainsdale.
For day trips: the Lake District is 75 minutes north, the Yorkshire Dales 80 minutes east, and North Wales 65 minutes south-west. Liverpool’s cultural offer — the Tate Liverpool, the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, the theatres on Hope Street, the new Shakespeare North Playhouse at Prescot — is 25 minutes by car or 40 minutes by train from Ormskirk station.
