Blundellsands is a coastal ward in the Metropolitan Borough of Sefton in England, sitting on the Merseyside shore just north of Crosby with views across the River Mersey towards Liverpool. It is largely residential, known for its tree‑lined avenues and a stock of substantial Victorian and Edwardian houses that reflect its development as a desirable suburb for well‑to‑do Liverpool merchants in the 19th century.
The ward benefits from seaside amenities and a pleasant promenade with easy access to Crosby Beach and Antony Gormley’s "Another Place" sculptures, while Blundellsands & Crosby railway station provides straightforward commuter links into Liverpool. Locally there’s a quiet, village‑like feel with independent shops, schools and community groups, making it one of Sefton’s more affluent and settled neighbourhoods.
