The Light

A coastal defence battery built between 1825 and 1829. It was built to protect the Port of Liverpool and as a fortified lighthouse to replace the old Perch Rock Light. It was built on an area known as Black Rock and was cut off at high tide, but now coastal reclamation has made it fully accessible.

Situated alongside the promenade, the park has a popular cafe and provides a good view across the River Mersey. During summer, the park has attractive floral displays.

Built in 1858 a part of a military fortification to defend the Mersey.

Ferry terminal with cafe featuring views over the Mersey.
