Arrowe Park

Arrowe Park is an area 6.5 km (4.0 mi) to the west of Birkenhead, within the Metropolitan Borough of Wirral, Merseyside, England.

It is situated on the Wirral Peninsula, adjacent to the Woodchurch housing estate and to the south of the large village of Upton.

[4] In 1807, Liverpool mayor, shipowner and slave trader John Shaw first bought Arrowe House Farm and subsequently more and more of the surrounding land.

[3] On his death in 1829 it came into the ownership of his nephew, John Ralph Nicholson Shaw, who built Arrowe Hall in 1835 and had the grounds landscaped to form a country estate, with parkland, a lake and workers' cottages.

[7] The property was handed down to Captain Otho Shaw, a world traveller and collector, who housed numerous items there.

[9] Ownership was transferred again on 1 April 1974 from Birkenhead Corporation to the nascent Metropolitan Borough of Wirral local authority.

Arrowe Brook flows along the western edge of the park, from south to north, alongside a path.
