10 Historic Sites in Liverpool That You Shouldn't Miss
Liverpool's fortunes have historically been tied to shipping. But imports and exports like sugar, spice and tobacco pale in comparison with Liverpool's most famous export of all—the Beatles. Relive the hysteria at the Beatles Story Experience, and check out Paul's childhood home, but also leave time for exploring Liverpool Cathedral and the Walker Art Gallery.

The Holy Grail of The Beatles trail. The place where it truly all began for the greatest music phenomenon of the 20th century.

It was a surreal, amazing experience standing in the place where the Beatles really began. To walk into the untouched Casbah felt as if we walked back in time, and we could have spent hours there just staring at the pictures and other memorabilia. The highlight for us was when our guide brought us there, and the door was opened by none other than Roag Best!!! He was our guide for the hour tour of the Casbah, and so we ended the day on an absolute high note! By the way, we were able to visit the Casbah through the Fab Four Taxi Tour; we booked the 3-hour Macca tour with the added visit to the Casbah at the end. The day was truly a fantastic day!

We have visited today. Lovely welcome from Lynn who booked us on and a great tour with Mike.hr was very knowledgeable about it, we found it very fascinating and he was great keeping the children engaged as well, We have loved being moles for the day, and a lovely touch that the children got a certificate and badge at the end too. I hope to revisit when you've unearthed some more hidden tunnels....

9. Sudley House
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 253 reviews
Sudley House has been described as a hidden gem. Tucked away in Liverpool's leafy suburbs, Sudley is the only house of a Victorian merchant that still has its original pictures, including works by Millais, Turner and Rossetti. With beautiful period furniture, carpets and wallpaper it doesn't feel like a regular gallery, more a period home that you've been given the keys to. Admission is free, booking essential at www.liverpoolmuseums.org.uk/sudleyhouse

In all the years we've been coming to the great city of Liverpool we had never visited this glorious house and gallery. Sublime paintings, fabulous interiors, and amazing views to the Welsh hills from the rear terrace and gardens. Cannot recommend a visit enough. Staff are absolutely WONDERFUL, knowledgeable and friendly. A great afternoon out.
10. St. Peter's Church, Woolton
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 89 reviews
We are a lovely Anglican Church located in Woolton village, South Liverpool. The cornerstone for the current Church was laid in 1886, and it was built from local sandstone. The 90-ft high bell tower contains 8 bells and is the highest point in Liverpool with fabulous views of Merseyside, Lancashire, Cheshire and the Welsh hills. Inside are many fine features, including a wonderful Church organ and a beautiful set of stained glass windows, designed by the famous artist Charles Kempe. The two smaller windows were removed from the original church and were designed by William Morris. St Peter's Church is most famous for being the location where John Lennon met Paul McCartney on July 6, 1957, and the Lennon-McCartney partnership was born. The Church graveyard provides the final resting place for 'our' Eleanor Rigby, as well as John Lennon's uncle, George Toogood Smith, and Bob Paisley, the most successful manager in the history of Liverpool Football Club.

We stopped by St Peter's to see Eleanor Rigbys headstone. Made famous by Lennon and McCartney. We then walked around the church yard to see all the lonely people. A very nice church and yard.
