Leahurst campus

The Leahurst Campus represents a significant area of the University’s estate and is located on the Wirral Peninsula, and home to two working farms and associated farmland. We are committed to creating a community for its stakeholders, which operates in a manner that is environmentally sustainable, economically feasible and socially responsible.

Sustainability features at Leahurst campus

  • Ness Heath Farm providing 100 acres of pasture for sheep, beef herds, pigs and horses
