Crabtree Car Park

Alright, so you're heading to Burscough near Southport and need to park? Crabtree Car Park on Crabtree Lane is your shout. The best bit? It's free! Now, it's not massive, and I wouldn't say it's the prettiest spot, but hey, free is free, right? Especially useful if you're planning on popping into Burscough Wharf for a pint or a bite.

It's got a 3.7 out of 5 rating on Google from 3 reviews, so don't expect the Ritz. Think more "functional" than "fancy." To be honest, you're parking a car, not having a spa day. It does the job.

It's located right on Crabtree Lane (number 35, if you want to be exact), so it's easy enough to find. I wouldn't bank on it being empty on a Saturday afternoon during peak season, mind you. Weekdays are usually a safer bet.

Just a heads up, there aren't any marked bays, so park sensibly and don't be a space hog. You know the drill.
