Liverpool’s guide combines parks, nature reserves, cafes and pubs with practical access notes. Speke Hall requires dogs to be on leads throughout its property and excludes them from the Hall, maze, play areas, Moat Garden and Childe of Hale Trail. The Reader Café is dog friendly outside only, while Black Sheep Coffee Liverpool One welcomes dogs without specifying an indoor or outdoor restriction. The Childwall Abbey Hotel explicitly welcomes dogs in its bar area.
GOV.UK guidance says to check the published order area and local signs wherever a Public Spaces Protection Order applies. A PSPO may require a lead, including when an authorised officer directs you, and may exclude dogs from specified places or limit the number of dogs a person has with them, including professional walkers. Where PSPO requirements apply, clear up after your dog and carry the required poop scoop and disposable bags.

Know before you go
Local authority guidance for dog owners. On-site signs take priority and restrictions can change.
Where a Public Spaces Protection Order applies, check the council-published order area and local signs before relying on a dog-control rule; GOV.UK says councils must tell the public where PSPOs are in place and mark places with restrictions with signs.
