Welcome to the North West, no longer a place of black bricks, smutty cobbles or dark satanic mills! A glorious spectacle of fantastic entertainment jam-packed with fascinating museums, stunning art galleries, historic houses, castles, cathedrals and much much more awaits you.
Visit Manchester, the world’s first industrial city, home to interesting historical museums such as The Imperial War Museum North and the Museum Of Science and Industry. Watch live concert performances at famous venues such as the Manchester Apollo, MEN Arena, and Bridgewater Hall, or immerse yourself in marvellous theatrical productions at theatre venues such as the Lowry, Royal Exchange and the Palace Theatre. However, if visually stunning works of art are more your thing, why not check out the Manchester Art Gallery and the Whitworth Art Gallery.
Why not visit Blackpool? Take a trip up to the very top of Blackpool Tower, with its see through glass floor and stunning, beautiful views. Venture to Blackpool Pleasure Beach, home to 150 different rides, or feast your eyes on a superb view of the town from the Big Wheel. Blackpool Illuminations, a visually spectacular compilation of over 500 inventive luminous designs are not to be missed.
Liverpool is a definite must see. It’s not just about ferries, football and Beatle mania. The Albert Dock, the city’s biggest tourist attraction, features a variety of different shops, restaurants and the Merseyside Maritime Museum. Art galleries such as the Liverpool Tate and the Walker which houses original paintings and sculptures are a feast for the eyes. Further attractions include Liverpool Cathedral, Liverpool FC museum, Pier Head and the Three Graces, a trio of striking buildings which form one of the world’s most famous skylines.
Chester. Traditional but contemporary, ancient but modern. Chester offers so much.
Most famous for its Zoo, the city is also very proud of its Roman heritage. The walls built by the Romans around Chester still partly remain, and from these you can achieve a fantastic view of the city as a whole. The Cathedral with 1,000 years of history, shops including the unique 13th century Rows and delightful walks along the River Dee will enchant you.
Further places of interest in The North West include Eureka! The National Children’s Museum, the Cars Of The Stars Motor Museum, the fantastic Muncaster Castle, Jodrell Bank, Wigan Pier, and, if you are a fan of walking and gorgeous scenery, why not check out the Lake District, where lakes, picturesque villages and high mountains surround you on all sides.
