Strix Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Strarfish? Wow! That's what we're doing on Sunday then (can't possibly get that close to the sea without beagling on the beach ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bypassblade Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Just been reading this thread and always thought that Liverpool was a dump (hearsay & such) and just full of vagabonds and scallys. Is it really such a nice place to visit for a long weekend and safe, as just mentioned it to wife, as we are looking for somewhere a bit different to York.

Uptowngirl Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 The streets around the cavern are pedestrian. The area becomes a street party on warm evenings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The centre of Liverpool is quite nice nowadays. Liverpool city centre is fantastic. It's improved immeasurably in the last couple of decades and I strongly recommend anybody who fancies doing something different for a change to go there for a weekend away. Disclaimer Many areas of Liverpool outside of the city centre are sadly notorious for crime, violence and general untidiness so I'd avoid leaving the relative safety of the city centre unless you know the city well enough ( Knowsely Safari park is great ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's much more visiter-centric than Sheffield/Leeds/even Manchester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alchresearch Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 (edited) Just been reading this thread and always thought that Liverpool was a dump (hearsay & such) and just full of vagabonds and scallys. Is it really such a nice place to visit for a long weekend and safe, as just mentioned it to wife, as we are looking for somewhere a bit different to York. Yep, it really is. Granted there are some real holes on the outskirts - Gateacre, Norris Green, Bootle, and so on, which usually marr the city. But if you were encouraging people to come to Sheffield, would you suggest they approach via the Manor and Wybourn?

Agent Orange Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Shop at Loot. Kid you not, there's a shop somewhere in the suburbs (can't remember where exactly) called Loot. Not sure if that's the name of the shop or an instruction to the locals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
