Because Liverpool is widely known for its industrial history, many people forget that they are a host to enjoy various outdoor locations and activities in the city. If you are an outside fan, you will find that Liverpool and the surrounding area still have a lot of things to offer you.
Liverpool Waterfront
Mercy is a highly important part of Liverpool, so any trip to the city would not be complete without a trip to Liverpool. Explore historic dock areas and visit the Pier Head to see the famous Royal Liver Building. On the tallest side of this building, you will see two giant statues.
Birds of the liver. These mythological birds have long stood as symbols of the city. Thanks to uplift schemes, Pier Head now hosts a variety of outdoor festivals, including food festivals and themed markets. Down on the waterfront, you can catch a ferry from Jersey to Birkenhead or a tourist trip to see the city from the beach.
Another location is a classic example of outdoor art in the Liverpool area. The installation consists of 100 cast iron figures spread over 3 km of sand on Crosby Beach. Due to the flow and flow of the tides, these idols are covered and covered by the sea twice per day. Watching the figures get submerged by the sea or watching them slowly coming out of the waves because tide ebb can be a very spectacular experience. Visitors should not attempt to venture out from distant figures, as the tide may come quickly and unexpectedly.
Water sports
Liverpool and the Mersey estuary area are ideal locations for those who indulge in a wide variety of different water areas. Standard watersport facilities, such as kayak and speedboat rentals, are widely available from providers in the waterfront and dockland areas.
There are some more unusual features available for those who are feeling a little more adventurous or wacky. For example, visitors can turn on an inflatable water trampoline that floats in the river. The contestants pounce on the trampoline as much as they want, and then they land themselves in the water. They can easily climb back onto the inflatable using a ladder that goes down into the water.
Alternatively, the Wakepark facility gives visitors the opportunity to try their hand at an exciting new sport of wakeboarding. Wakeboarding is similar to water-skiing, but participants stand on a board that resembles a snowboard. If no one is participating, it is just as thrilling as watching others go.
The wirral way
The Wirral Passage is a 10-mile long walking and cycling route that takes in some gorgeous scenery on the Wirral Peninsula. The path is clearly marked, so it is very difficult to lose, and the terrain is relatively easy so it is suitable for people of all abilities. There are plenty of picnic spots and places to stop for provisions along the way. While the path can be paved or cycled during the entire year, it is especially scenic when driving during the changing of seasons, as it passes through open countryside as well as more built-up areas. The Wirral is a short ferry ride across Mersey from the city center.
Port sunlight village
Port Sunlight Village is a prime example of an outdoor, historical attraction. The village is also situated in Viral, between Liverpool and Chester.
Port Sunlight was commissioned in 1888 by philanthropist William Heseth Lever. He ran a local sunlight soap factory and needed space to house his workers. While many factory owners at the time were primarily concerned with profit, Heseth Lever felt that workers were more productive when they were happier and healthier. The standard of housing and sanitation in the village was higher than that found in most other types of labor housing in that area. The village now stands as an open air museum. For those who want to enjoy the outdoors, there are extensive grounds and gardens.
