Liverpool is packed with exciting adventures, including museums, galleries, theatres, shops, beaches and parks. Whether you’re a first-time visitor, or have been countless times, we always recommend the Mersey Ferries; touring the city this way gives you access to the best views of the Liverpool Waterfront during a 50-minute River Explorer Cruise. As their website explains, “All you need to do is sit back, relax and take in the views. You’ll be captivated as the rich and fascinating history of our world-famous waterfront unfolds before you”.

No Beatles fan can leave Liverpool unturned. From open-top Beatles Bus tours to drinking at The Cavern to staying at The Hard Days Night Hotel, Liverpool is the only place you can discover the truly remarkable story of the boys who were to become the world’s best known musicians.

For outdoor adventures, we recommend Calderstones Park which is a stunning 94 acre family park in South Liverpool and is home to a woodland, a lake, fields, beautiful Japanese & old English gardens. It’s home to ancient megaliths that are said to be older than Stonehenge, this is in fact what the park is named after. Designed by Sir Joseph Paxton, Birkenhead Park is acknowledged as the first publicly funded park in the world having first opened in 1847 and influened the design of New York’s Central Park.

Comprising of 725 acres of land set within a glorious stretch of North Staffordshire countryside on the southern fringe of Stoke-on-Trent, the award-winning visitor attraction Trentham Estate is the last remnant of one of England’s greatest garden estates.
