Futuristic and award winning landmark |
Hope Street (Mount Pleasant) Liverpool, Merseyside L3 5TQ United Kingdom +44 151 709 9222 |
This unusual and distinctive building can be found on the outskirts of the city centre. One of two stunning cathedrals in the city, the Catholic Cathedral is the result of Sir Frederick Gibberd's award-winning contemporary design of the 1960's. The structure is circular and almost rocket-like in appearance. During the day, the interior exudes a vivid display of light radiating through the magnificent colored glass panels. An impressive suspended metal construction symbolizing the crown of thorns hangs above the high altar. A bookshop is on site and guides are available. Admission is free. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Hauntings and hideouts |
The Walk (Speke) Liverpool, Merseyside L24 1XD United Kingdom +44 151 427 7231 |
One of England's great historic houses can be found set in its own glorious grounds, just eight miles from the city centre. The cleverly-concealed priest holes suggest Tudor times, while other rooms, including the fully-equipped kitchen, are more Victorian in style. Wandering through the endless corridors reveals all manner of curios, but enter the Tapestry Room at your peril - the resident ghost may be closer than you think. A recent addition to the beautiful grounds is a beautifully-designed, maize maze, which may be easier to navigate than it is to say. Review © 2007, Wcities |
