Places to visit in Merseyside

Visit Merseyside for a city break with a difference. Absorb the sounds of The Beatles as you stroll through Cavern Walks – where the band became famous before conquering the world – and take in the Fab Four’s exhibition at The Beatles’ Story Experience. But places to visit in Merseyside go much further than in its principal city. Visit the home of British glass at the World of Glass museum in St Helens, a fascinating town also known for its rugby league heritage. See wild animals up close and personal at Knowsley Safari Park, take in Anthony Gormley’s unique art installation on Crosby Beach and visit Formby Point to see one of England’s last strongholds for red squirrels – go see before they disappear for good.
