You can go along a pathway which the NT put in i think for views over the River Mersey, but it is also ideal for watch aircraft( there are a few wood benches). Particularly good when flights arrive on runway 09 (ie from the west). Have seen Concorde a few times from this position.

Its also possible to see aircraft at the othe end of the runway. If you travel towards hale there is a road which goes down towards the river and passes the bottom of runway 27. There is an area (unofficial) that people park up where you can get quite good views. However this area is not maintained and therefore not as pleasant as Speke Hall.

If you are ever in my neck of the woods and want to watch movements at my local airport, one of the best places to view is Speke Hall owned by the National Trust. You will have to pay to enter the grounds (i think about £2.50) but then you can get very good runway views and with the NT upgraded catering facilities they actually seem tobe encouraging spotters as well as visitors to the house and garden !
