Litherland,
Merseyside
Merseyside
is a densely populated coastal county, lots
of people, spirit, humour, lots to see -
from land and air.
Litherland
is a large residential area of north Liverpool.
It is located north-east of neighbouring
Bootle and close to the surrounding areas
of Seaforth,
Waterloo, Thornton, Great
Crosby, Netherton and Orrell. Litherland
has its own railway (Merseyrail) station,
and is also served by other stations in
the area, such as Waterloo and Orrell. The
Litherland area is roughly bounded by the
A565 just north of Bootle (the A565 runs
from Liverpool to Southport)
to the west and the A59 to the east (the
A59 runs from Liverpool
to Preston).
Litherland is part of a built-up (urban)
area so the possible Hot Air Balloon take-off
and landing locations are limited. Another
concern about ballooning in this area is
its proximity to the Irish Sea, and the
weather than can be quite windy as a result.
For these reasons, residents of Litherland
may need to travel a short distance to a
more suitable area to enjoy their hot air
balloon flight - though do check that with
your flight operator.
