Liverpool, Merseyside

Merseyside is a densely populated coastal county, lots of people, spirit, humour, lots to see - from land and air.

Liverpool is at the heart of the county of Merseyside, so much so that many of the other pages in this section refer back to the connections between other Merseyside locations and Liverpool city centre.

Liverpool is famous for many things, including maritime history (it was the "second city of the [British] Empire" - after London), emigration to the "New World" of North America, the slave trade, having two cathedrals, The Beatles, Liverpool Football Club, Everton Football Club, Scouse (language), Scouse (food/stew), and numerous entertainers such as Cilla Black, Ken Dodd, and the cast of the 1980s sitcom "Bread". Well, that's a start anyway...

Visit Liverpool during 2008 and we're sure that the European Capital of Culture will have even more treats in store !
