  • A tour of Liverpool City Centre in England exploring the Royal Albert Docks, Pier Head, the 3 Graces on the waterfront and Liverpool Cathedral. These are the sights you’ve got to see in LIVERPOOL! 🇬🇧 See more of my UK videos here → bit.ly/mwt_UK
    My Liverpool vlog concentrates on Liverpool City Centre as I walk from the Royal Albert Docks to Liverpool Cathedral. Along the way I delve into the history of the Liverpool Waterfront and the Royal Albert Docks as well as learn a thing or two about the 3 Graces - 3 spectacular buildings lining Pier Head. I also managed to take a ferry across the Mersey - a 50 minutes sightseeing boat tour along the Liverpool waterfront.
    From there I took a walk through Liverpool City Centre admiring the Queen Victoria Monument on my way. The monument was built in Derby Square on the site of the now destroyed Liverpool Castle, one of the oldest parts of the city. After stopping by St John's Garden to pay my respects at the Hillsborough Memorial I made it to St Luke's Bombed Out Church - an old church partially destroyed by Nazi bombing raids in World War 2.
    As my walk around Liverpool continued I came across the tallest Chinese arch in Europe which signifies the entrance to Chinatown. From there I passed the spaceship-like Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral on route to the largest cathedral in the UK - Liverpool Cathedral.
    I’d wanted to visit Liverpool for a while and was not disappointed. I very much enjoyed walking around the city and learning about its history - there’s definitely plenty to see and do.

    Nobody ever seems to film the area around Speke Hall...such a beautiful setting for an historic Elizabethan manor house

    Brilliant video of a fabulous city, Amazing architecture throughout the city, awesome parks. It's sad how the city still gets dragged though the dirt because of a small minority of idiots and lies from a certain newspaper. The city need a bigger music/events venue because bands overlook Liverpool and always choose Manchester which is a shame.

      Thank you Steven, much appreciated. I'd wanted to get up to Liverpool for years and I wasn't disappointed with what I saw - to be honest I could have done with a few more days! It's unreal that those tabloids just made things up to get their story - should never have been allowed. Yeah I agree about the music scene, with the history the city has it should be the place to be for both small and big events! Thanks for watching.

    As a born and bred Scouser (who moved down South decades ago), many of the older parts were very familiar but the newer parts seemed strange, and could have been anywhere! A trip down memory lane nevertheless. Thank you.
    (BTW...not only is Liver (the building) pronounced as lie-ver, but it's neighbour is pronounced as Q-nard - perhaps only Scousers know this?)

    • @MattWhitingsEurope
      @MattWhitingsEurope  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks for watching the video, glad you enjoyed it and were able to take that walk down Memory Lane (for the most part anyway!). Thanks for the info regarding pronunciations, I was sure it would be pronounced the same way as the city! Who would have thought!!

    GOOD MORNING! How did you know we were watching in the morning? 😯 That Royal Liver building 😍 That's a lot of demolishing on that site. Sad history about St. Luke's but would be a nice place for a wedding today. Didn't know the longest Cathedral was there.

    • @MattWhitingsEurope
      @MattWhitingsEurope  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I know everything!! 😂. Perhaps I could say it was a lucky guess but the truth is I must have set AM instead of PM when scheduling this video a few weeks ago. Doh! I was just as surprised to see it live this morning when I woke up as you were! Yes some really fascinating history in Liverpool, much more to do than I anticipated - really glad I got to visit!

    Loving the Malta Gozo hat making a Liverpool appearance, and so pleased to see you in Liverpool. It's a UK city that I've still not made it to yet and I can't understand why not as it has so much history and culture! ! I had no idea that Liverpool had the largest Grade 1 listed building, but it's stunning so can understand why it was given the status! You had lovely weather for this trip. Excellent video and looking forward to watching the Beatles one later in the week as I find time to catch up on everything I've missed the past couple of weeks!

      Thank you Caroline, much appreciated. Glad you are back safely from your travels and I look forward to seeing what you have in store for us! I really enjoyed my couple of days in Liverpool, the weather forecast looked terrible in the few days before my visit but thankfully once I got there it improved considerably. In fact the sun was shining and the sky was a deep blue as we headed into the early evening - perfect for a few photos of the Liverpool waterfront!

      Unfortunately there was a lot of important history and places I couldn't get into the video, it's only 15 minutes long after all.
