Days out from Wirral

From your base in Wirral, and along the Mersey Waterfront, Englands Northwest is easy to explore.  Whether you want to retrace the steps of The Beatles in Liverpool, or visit the beautiful Roman city of Chester, Wirral has plenty of wonderful attractions on the doorstep - here is just a taste...

Chester & Cheshire:

Its roots may be roman, its streets may be medieval, but Chester certainly doesn’t live in the past. Walk around the traffic-free heart of this great heritage city and it’s impossible not to fall under the spell of the city buzzing with vibrant 21^st century life.

Alternatively relax, unwind and escape to the Cheshire countryside. Follow the canals and cycleways as they weave their way across the rolling green pastureland.

Liverpool

Liverpool - Capital of Culture in 2008 certainly has much to offer! Liverpool. The very name conjures up images of a glorious maritime history, world-beating musical heritage, two of the Premiership’s biggest football teams and not one, but two majestically different Cathedrals.

Liverpool One

It is now bulging with fabulous new shops, buzzing new restaurants, hip hotels and trendy wine bars, as well as a world class cultural offering with more museums and galleries anywhere outside of London. Not forgetting its inhabitants, of course, who are famously friendly and will welcome you with pride.
