Mixed feelings
Lyons Farm
We booked this site due to it's proximity to transport links into Liverpool as we were going to a concert. It was very easy to find being literally next door to major road networks. On arrival I couldn't get hold of the owner to let us in as the gate was padlocked for security reasons I think. It was nearly 40mins before the gentleman owner returned one of my many missed calls. I spent this time avidly looking for alternative sites. He was most apologetic but this was the 1st time in over 15 yrs, we'd ever been locked out of a site and I was in panic mode. Anyway, we were showed onto a small grassed paddock accessed through another padlocked gate with 5 pitches and could pick any that was available. There was high hedging separating the site from the busy road and old farm buildings on the other side so no view at all. There were lots of units scattered around the land surrounding the CL, amongst the farm buildings. The owner was friendly enough, chatty and welcoming.
20 minutes walk to Metrorail station at Maghull Nth along a busy but well lit road with good wide pavements. The site itself, well I've mixed feelings about it. Great base for accessing Merseyside and surrounding areas easily. £20 a night, cheap as chips these days with water and ehu on pitch. No facilities other than an elsan point and bins. Road noise day and night from adjacent A -road and motorway. I can happily cope with some noise infact, I find silence deafening but this was another level and it wasn't comfortable. We've used sites in built up area's and city centres that are quieter. So, horses for courses. Lyons Farm serves as a good base but not a relaxing chill out site in my opinion.

We chose the site for access to Ormskirk which proved to be as easy as other reviewers described. It is an easy walk to the station with pavement all the way. The site was well kept with friendly owners; we did not need levellers. Although we expected the hum from the motorway, we found the traffic noise from the road outside the site & vehicles not on the CL moving in the early morning disturbed us. Site facilities as described elsewhere.

Fabulous CL. Easy access off M58. Chris is the owner is welcoming and helpful. If he’s not at home when you arrive, call him on his mobile and he’ll give you the site access code as gates are locked. All pitches have tap and EHU. £20 per night. Fairly flat pitches but used first step of levelling wedge on one side of caravan. Super chemical toilet emptying point. Site is very well cared for.
Good access into Liverpool and beyond using train from Maghull North Train Station. This station is 1 mile from site. Parking is free for rail users. Mersey Rail Day Pass costs £4.20 and can be used for travel into Liverpool Central Station and beyond.
There’s Morrison’s Supermarket and Co-Op in Maghill, take aways and pubs. Ormskirk is a short drive and has twice weekly market, Morrison’s Supermarket and Marks & Spencer’s Food Shop and a pedestrianised shopping precinct.
The soft hum of traffic noise can be heard but wasn’t sufficient to bother us. We stayed 9 nights and enjoyed every minute. We are in love with Liverpool and the friendly locals, and can’t wait to return.
Welcoming Host but Compromised Site
Lyons Farm
All previous comments about the hosts welcome and accurate. Very pleased to see us and knowledgeable.
It wasn't entirely his fault that the pitch we were offered wasn't in a field as in the picture. Apparently due to recent wet weather the camping fields was too wet for vehicles so we were in a small yard on a concrete base which had at one time been a building. It would have been better to refuse the booking.
Site fee is now £15 and I'm not sure how anyone can mark it a 'peaceful' the motorway is only a field away. All comments about access to Liverpool are accurate, the train station at Maghull North is relatively new, has good access and a regular commuter service.
So in general, OK for a couple of nights, particularly if you have business in Liverpool, but, if it's wet not for much longer.
