More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The tour opens with the wind off the Mersey pressing at your back as you stand on Pier Head, the river daring you to look past the skyline toward the Wirral. A private guide sets the pace—quick enough to see a lot, slow enough to listen—leading you past the Beatles statue, the Three Graces, and the patched brick faces of Albert Dock.
