Hatters Hostel, Liverpool. May 2019. I’ve stayed in some incredible hotels and guesthouses during my travels over the past twenty years.

Travel Report: Hard Days Night Hotel.

Hard Days Night Hotel, Liverpool. May 2019. As a diehard Beatles fan who’d come to Liverpool to conduct as much Beatlesy business as I could, there really was only one place to stay. It just had to be the world’s only Beatles inspired hotel. When I was planning my trip to Liverpool, I simply couldn’t see past […]

Travel Report: The Cavern Pub, Liverpool.

The Cavern Pub, Liverpool. May 2019. It was early evening when Steppers and I mooched onto Mathew street, the beating heart of Liverpool’s world famous Cavern Quarter.

The Cavern Club, Liverpool. May 2019.

Travel Report: The Beatles Story, Liverpool.

Beatles Story, Liverpool. May 2019. The whole idea of making Liverpool the centerpiece of my 2019 travels around England was to fulfil a lifelong desire to see the city’s legendary Beatles spots. If you’re into The Fab Four, there’s a serious amount of stuff to check out. So much so, it’s actually a good idea to […]

Travel Report: Crosby Beach, Liverpool.

Crosby Beach, Liverpool. May 2019. With so much to see and do in Liverpool, you can certainly forgive visitors for concentrating their efforts strictly on the sights in the city centre. However, if you find yourself in need of some fresh sea air, I highly recommend a thirty minute train ride out to Crosby Beach. […]

Travel Report: Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral.

Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral. May 2019. So this was one of CNN’s ugliest cathedrals in the world? This was the “hideous eyesore” that stands only as a personal insult to those who have to pray in it? This was the building that thousands of TripAdvisor moaners had ranted about to the point of near self-combustion? Hm, not […]
