Liverpool
It's one of the UK's most popular city breaks - and it's clear why
Located right where the River Mersey meets the Irish Sea in the North West of England, it's bursting with diverse and fascinating history, attractions - and lots and lots of shopping.\n\n
The Waterfront is definitely the place to be
The best view of the city's iconic skyline has to be from one of Mersey Ferry's 50-minute River Explorer Cruises - board it from The Liverpool Waterfront. Here, you'll also find the beautifully restored Royal Albert Dock, which played a key role in the famously friendly city's maritime history. Have you ever noticed that the city's name is below The Titanic on the mythical ship's stern? Find out more at the free-to-enter Waterfront Maritime Museum.\n\nLiverpool Dock has restaurants, bars, independent stores, museums and art galleries including Tate Liverpool and the Liverpool Museum, as well as The Beatle's Story, an immersive exhibition which takes you down the Long and Winding Road of The Beatles.\n\n
Liverpool is the perfect place to learn about the Fab Four
..It's their hometown after all. Take a selfie with a larger-than-life version of them on the Pier Head, or visit The Cavern Club on Mathew Street - the live music venue where The Beatles forged their musical identity and became the club's signature act following their first performance there on 9th February 1961.\n\nDon't miss - Right in the heart of the city is Liverpool ONE, the one place you can find all of your high street favourites and designers, plus food, drink and entertainment. If you're after something unique for dinner - head to Liverpool Cathedral's bistro for a hearty bowl of traditional Scouse. The local comfort food is served with homemade bread and pickled cabbage.
The Lake District
A unique tapestry of mountains, lakes & tarns\nThe Lake District is England's largest National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site AND home to the highest mountain (Scafell Pike), longest lake (Windermere) and deepest lake in the country (Wastwater). The national park's unique landscape is the product of geographical processes over the last 500 million years.\n\nYou might have noticed that it rains a lot here. This, combined with extra deep glacial valleys and volcanic rock that doesn't allow the water to seep away, is the reason there are so many lakes and tarns.\n\nAn unrivalled list of things to see & do\nDotted around this peaceful - and photogenic part of the world are many historic towns and villages, vast farmland, ancient dry-stone walls, and so much more. If you're heading here for an adventure or to get back to nature - you can walk, hike, hire a boat, camp.. the list is unrivalled.\n\nIf you like to eat and drink, there are many cosy pubs to treat yourself to a locally distilled beer (or something stronger), and if you want to stock up on local delicacies or gifts for loved ones, there are countless quaint little shops.\n\nDon't miss - If you haven't already, try Kendal Mint Cake, a locally made energy-boosting snack enjoyed by hikers worldwide!
