View from the tower towards
the bombed-out church

While the above mentioned cathedral truly is impressive, the view from its tower is even better! Get a ticket for the tower in the souvenir shop inside Liverpool Cathedral, walk across the room, take the lifts, walk up 108 steps and be prepared for the most marvellous views on Liverpool. The spacious tower top allows views in all directions - towards the city centre, towards the Mersey and in the distance the sea, towards the Welsh mountains and much more. It's really stunning to see giant Albert Dock in the distance, looking like a toy model of the original, or to watch the roofs of typical English houses or to follow the moves of tiny little dots in the streets that are actually cars... One warning should not be forgotten here: It is terribly windy up there! Keep a firm grip on your cameras, hats or scarfs! PS: More photos available in my travelogue!

From the roof of the
Anglican Cathedral

The RC cathedral is a wonderful modern building - and they have fixed the roof now, but are currently expanding the shop and refectory area. Lovely people inside - the woman who works in the shop was a really helpful and friendly person!

Directions: You cannot miss it!

Catholic Cathedral

Well, if Sabs thought the Anglican was the ugliest cathedral in the world, her opinion changed when she saw the Catholic. She thought that's even worse, possibly the worst in the world. (That opinion changed later when I showed her the church in Bowburn, Co. Durham). I like it - for a modern building it's not bad at all, and it's even better from inside (IMO - Sabs wouldn't even come in).

View from outside

Liverpool Anglican Cathedral is a must see when in Liverpool, on my most recent visit, I learned that it is only just over 100 years old. It looks like it's been there forever. So impressive, both inside and out. The massive main hall and other rooms are so well built and are a photographers dream. They have regular services here and the timetable is on the website (see below). Admission is free but a recommeded donation of £3 is most welcome. Plenty of toilets inside and they also have a restaurant and shop.

Address: 6 Cathedral Close

Directions: You simply can't miss this Cathedral, it's one of the most famous images of Liverpool. It's at the end of Rodney Street nearest Chinatown.

Another Cathedral? Yes, This one is a Roman Catholic cathederal - from the outside it doesn't have an ordinary catholic shape, however, inside it's beatiful, all the multicoloured glass let pass through the sun light and all inside is painted in so nice colourse, believe me, it's a nice expirience. Take a look to my second photograph. Admission is free

inside the RC cathedral

The inside of the Catholic Cathedral is visually just as interesting as its exterior with the colourful stained glass windows and wall pennants. The central part is known as the lantern.

Anglican Cathedral

This is the largest Anglican Cathedral in Europe with the largest church organ in the world (9765 pipes), the heaviest (31 tons!) ringing peals of bells in the world and highest gothic arches ever built...and so the superlatives go on.

Anglican interior

Its quite dark inside the Cathedral - but nore beautiful than its exterior. Hope this gives you an idea of the height of those arches and at the far end is the ornate high altar.
