Start By Seeing a Quirky Village

Discover its charming streets and admire the distinctive Arts & Crafts architecture. A great way to start your day trip to Chester from Liverpool. Time to venture inside The Lady Lever Art Gallery, if that's your thing. 

Historic City of Chester  

Continue to the Roman city of Chester. Walk a section of the ancient city walls, see the Roman amphitheatre and explore the charming Tudor-style streets. There is time for photos and a short refreshment stop if desired. Walking can be limited based on your preferences.

Beatles & South Liverpool

Returning towards Liverpool, visit Strawberry Field and Penny Lane, two of the most iconic locations connected to The Beatles.

Drive through Sefton Park to see the elegant Victorian Palm House before heading back toward the city center. You've done all this and are already back in sight of your ship.

Liverpool Highlights  

Step inside Liverpool Cathedral, the longest cathedral in the world, and explore the Georgian Quarter and Cultural Quarter.

Enjoy a panoramic drive along the waterfront that was once the beating heart of global trade, including views of the Three Graces and the revitalized docklands.
