Cliff's Beatles Tour , Well Minus Cliff !!

A journey through Liverpool's finest parks, along the banks of the River Mersey to the Pier Head, and the iconic architecture of The Three Graces, the cruise terminal at Princes Landing stage, and the fabulous architecture of the Royal Albert Dock.

Time permitting, we will take a look at Paul McCartneys childhood home at Forthlin Road, then onto Calderstones Park, Aunt Mimi’s House (John Lennon’s childhood home), Strawberry Fields, Woolton Village and St Peters Church and Hall and Eleanor Rigby’s grave. Return via Hunts Cross and the Liverpool Loop Line to Court Hey Park.
