Brotherton Park and Dibbinsdale comprise an area of over 80 acres (320,000 m2) of park and woodland within the Metropolitan Borough of Wirral, England.

Situated between Spital and Bromborough, the valley woodland is one of the finest examples of ancient woodland on Merseyside and is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).

Dibbinsdale is thought to have formed part of the boundary in the 10th and 11th centuries between the Norse colony in Wirral, to the north and west, and Anglo-Saxon Mercia to the east and south. After the Norman Conquest, the whole area became part of the Hundred of Wirral.[1]
