 27 Reviews  My experiences of these stadiums are of course going to them play Manchester City. I've been to Goodinson Park (Everton F.C) twice and Anfield (Liverpool F.C) more than five times. If you like football and are in the area, go and watch a game in one of these stadiums. Both stadiums are easy to find... 

 32 Reviews  If you enjoy public art projects you really should see the Metroscopes by Clive Gillman. The metroscopes are five large circular digital displays that constantly change. Each one represents Liverpool and one of its twin cities (Odessa, Dublin, Shanghai and Koln). Why are they so great? Well, each... 

 38 Reviews  Readers of my other pages will know that I am fond of a pint now and again and I am passionate about old-fashioned British pubs and the appalling rate at which they are closing. See my Dead Pubs society travelogue on my London page for an example of this. It was with genuine pleasure therefore that...

 7 Reviews  The village is a delight, its colours and quirks and the vista (when not covered by mist usually determining rain) of the estuary, sand that goes lighter gradually but through which are always channels of water.

 17 Reviews  The Beatles are from Liverpool. Everybody knows that. I really like how the whole city still wasn't turned into a Beatles trap!

The people!
