Map of the best day trips from Liverpool

This map shows all of the suggestions of day trips from Liverpool in this post to help you see where you fancy visiting from Liverpool!

Liverpool Day Trips

So let’s get into it. Here is a list of the top day trips from Liverpool and places to visit near Liverpool in one day!

1. Conwy, North Wales

The charming town of Conwy on the North Wales coast is one of the best day trips from Liverpool , offering a blend of history, culture, and family-friendly activities, all set against the beautiful backdrop of the Welsh countryside.

Of course, the main attraction on your Liverpool day trip itinerary will be Conwy Castle , the medieval fortress that dominates the town. It’s one of North Wales’ most iconic castles and forms part of a UNESCO Heritage Site along with three other castles in the area. On a visit to Conwy Castle, you can explore the ruins, walk along the walls, and climb to the top of the towers for views across the town and the Conwy Estuary.

Right next to the castle is the Conwy Suspension Bridge. Although built much later, it blends well with the castle’s architecture and still has the original toll house where the family who ran it would live. Conwy is also home to some of the most intact medieval town walls in the country which you can walk along for free.

Some other  attractions in Conwy  include the ‘ Smallest House in Great Britain ’, which you can go inside, Plas Mawr (an authentic Elizabethan townhouse), and the cobbled streets lined with local shops and cosy cafes waiting to be explored.

Conwy is just 1hr30 from Liverpool by car along the A55. If you’re planning to travel by public transport, your best option is to take the train and make a change at either Crewe or Chester, however, expect this to take more than 2 hours.

NORTH WALES DAY TOUR FROM LIVERPOOL

If you don’t have your own car but want to see the countryside of North Wales, book this day tour from Liverpool to Wales!

It will take you to the historic and popular  Conwy Castle , National Slate Museum and end in the stunning  Eryri National Park  (Snowdonia National Park)!

York is a beautiful, historic city and an easy day trip from Liverpool. There truly is something for every type of visitor here! You can get from Liverpool to York by train or driving – it’s about 2 hours either way. Walking the City Walls is a must on any visit to York. It’s one of the best free things to do in York !

Stop for a brew at Gatehouse Coffee, located inside Walmgate Bar. If you’re after a top-notch brunch or lunch spot, head to either Pig and Pastry or Robinson’s on Bishopthorpe Road (Bishy Road to the locals).

A visit to York Minster is also essential when in York. This magnificent Gothic cathedral is the symbol of the city, full of ancient history and beautiful features. Learn about its Roman foundations in the undercroft museum , and climb the 275 steps up the tower to marvel at the views over the city.

Next, go for a wander or a picnic in Museum Gardens (I recommend picking up a sweet treat from Brew and Brownie!), then learn about Viking history at Jorvik Viking Centre. Finally, stroll through the city’s snickelways – these narrow, pedestrianised alleyways are one of York’s most unique features.

The Shambles is the most famous one – it’s the oldest shopping street in Europe! Round off your day trip with a drink: Blue Bell for a pint in the city’s smallest pub, Evil Eye for the best cocktails in the city, or House of Trembling Madness (Stonegate) for a medieval-style pub and quirky beers,

3. Mam Tor, Peak District

Located 90 minutes drive from central Liverpool, Mam Tor is one of the best walks in the Peak District . So if hillwalking and great countryside views are your kind of thing, this is for you. No experience is needed, this walk is perfect for those who are new to country walks

What’s great about  walking up Mam Tor   is that there’s so many routes – short and long. So if you really just want the views, you can drive to the nearest car park and it’s less than half a mile to the top. Or you can start in nearby Castleton or Edale and take longer routes, adding on nearby attractions like Winnats Pass and caves like Speedwell or Blue John Cavern. 

And at the top, you’ll get to take in sweeping views over the beautiful Peak District countryside . It’s the perfect place to sit and eat lunch on the grass on a sunny day making it one of the best days out from Liverpool.

The easiest way to get to Mam Tor is to drive. But you can also get the train via Manchester Piccadilly to Edale – the walk from there to the top of Mam Tor is about 1.5 miles , taking just under 1 hour.

4. Llandudno, North Wales

If you’re looking for the best day trips from Liverpool , you can’t go wrong with  Llandudno . This gorgeous Welsh town is located in the north of the country and is such a cute place to visit.

You’ll find a bustling promenade overlooking a picturesque beach . The beach is a mixture of sand and pebbles, so it is more of a place to paddle than to sunbathe, but you can still find a nice place to pitch your tower in the summer months. 

As well as visiting the beach , you have got to walk down the nearby pier. It’s the longest pier in Wales (and one of the longest in the UK) and along it, you’ll find a great collection of games, arcades, and fairground rides that will keep you entertained for hours. If you love ‘Deal or No Deal’ or the 2p machine, you could end up spending quite a long time here!

As well as the arcade, you’ll also find a range of things to do in Llandudno that would appeal to nature lovers. It’s home to the Great Orme, a dramatic headland with fascinating copper mines at the summit. Take the tram or the cable car to the top and you can explore to your heart’s content. It’s also within close proximity of Eryri National Park (Snowdonia National Park) , which makes it a great base if you ever come back for longer than a day trip. 

To get to Llandudno from Liverpool, the drive is between 1 hour and a half and 1 hour and a quarter, depending on the time of day and traffic . You can also go by train, but this is longer, and you have to go into Chester, change trains, and then head to Llandudno.

5. Castleton, Peak District

While there are plenty of amazing   things to do in the Peak District , a visit to the picturesque village of Castleton is an absolute must on a day trip from Liverpool . Reachable in only an hour and a half by car, Castleton has something for all travellers at any time of year.

It is located at the head of Hope Valley in the Peak District and serves as a great base to explore the nearby caves and taverns . One of the main visitor attractions of the village is the imposing ruins of Peveril Castle. It was built in 1086 by William Peveril, son of William the Conqueror. Climb this historic fortress to learn about its fascinating past. Also, from the top, you will get an awe-inspiring view of the surrounding hillsides.

There are four unique show caves in Castleton . Peak Cavern is almost entirely natural, carved out by melting glacier waters and the cave system is the largest in the Peak District. Treak Cliff Cavern and Blue John Cavern contain beautiful caves decorated with different varieties of Blue John stone, a beautiful and ornamental fluor-spar. Speedwell Cavern is an old lead mine, and visitors are taken on an underground boat trip to the cavern.

Castleton is also a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts. There are various hiking trails suitable for all abilities. To admire some of the most iconic views of the Peak District , climb Mam Tor. The circular trail starts from Castleton and is family-friendly.

Also, wander around the Winnats Pass , which lies close to the village. It is one of the most spectacular mountain passes in the UK . The road is very photogenic having limestone ridges on the side.

6. Kendal, Lake District

Kendal is a historic market town often referred to as the “gateway to the Lake District” as such this makes it perfect for a day trip from Liverpool for couples.

There are some wonderful shops in Kendal that you must visit on a day trip, start with the 1657 Chocolate House on Branthwaite Brow and enjoy some delicious handmade chocolate treats. Next up visit the olde fleece inn, which is the oldest and one of the  best pubs in Kendal  and perfect for a spot of lunch or a cheeky beer or two.

If you’d prefer afternoon tea, then across the street from Ye Olde Fleece Inn is Farrer’s tea and coffee house, the oldest tea room in Kendal serving tea and coffee since 1819. It is advisable to book in advance if you want this though as it gets very busy with visitors and locals.

Take a stroll around the historic streets and the quaint ‘Yards’ which branch off and cut through between the main roads. If you happen to visit on a Wednesday or Saturday you can see the market in full swing and buy some fresh local produce.

Kendal Museum is also worth a visit if time allows to learn all about the fascinating history of the town and Kendal Castle . It is one of the oldest museums in Britain and inside you can find some unique collections. From the private geologic finds of local man John Hamer to some questionable taxidermy that has been in the museum since it opened in 1796.

A short walk from the main town centre you can also find Kendal Castle which is free to visit and due to its elevated position has panoramic views over Kendal town.

Whatever you choose to do in Kendal it is sure to be a day trip from Liverpool to remember.

7. Morecambe

Liverpool is a vibrant city filled with rich history and cultural attractions, but sometimes, one might feel the need to escape the bustling city and immerse themselves in the tranquility of nature. Thankfully, less than 2 hours drive away from Liverpool lies the charming coastal town of Morecambe.

Known for its picturesque views of the Irish Sea , Morecambe is the perfect destination for a peaceful getaway. Visitors can stroll along the promenade, taking in the fresh sea breeze and admiring the stunning vistas . Moreover, the Eric Morecambe statue offers a great photo opportunity and a chance to pay homage to the legendary comedian.

The vast expanse of golden sand at  Morecambe Beach   provides the perfect setting for leisurely strolls and picnics with family and friends. This area is also home to a variety of wildlife, making it a great spot for birdwatching enthusiasts.

The Morecambe bird statues are a beautiful and iconic feature of the seaside town of Morecambe in England. These striking sculptures, stand tall against the backdrop of the picturesque Morecambe Bay, inviting both locals and visitors to marvel at their elegance and grace.

The Morecambe Bird Statues have not only become a symbol of the town’s natural beauty but also serve as a tribute to the rich wildlife that can be found in the area. From Morecambe, you can also admire Lake District mountains and find many other interesting sculptures such as Lakeland Fells Panorama. So, if you are seeking a tranquil and picturesque beach getaway, look no further than the stunning Morecambe Beach.

8. Blackpool

Blackpool is a great destination for young people or families looking for the best day trips from Liverpool . The best way to get there is by train which takes 1 hour and 20 minutes from Liverpool . By car it takes roughly the same amount of time. There are several large car parks on the outskirts of town which are the best places to park . It is difficult to find a parking space in the city centre.

Blackpool is known for the Pleasure Beach with amusement rides , the seafront promenade and the Blackpool Tower with its famous ballroom. It even has its own Madame Tussauds museum where you can “see” the British royal family. A tip for anyone planning to visit is to buy tickets online in advance because it means that you can skip the queue.

In the city centre are several buildings worth visiting such as the Winter Gardens, the Blackpool Opera House and The Grand Theatre . It is also possible to go inside the Blackpool tower ballroom where the BBC Strictly Come Dancing Blackpool Week takes place each year.

For children there is an aquarium called Sea Life in the city centre and a zoo further out. There are also several beaches in the area where you can spend the day during the summer. Make sure you check tide levels. The area of exposed sand differs significantly between high and low tide are nearly just like  Silver Sands in Scotland   and so many other beaches across the UK . 

Come evening there is plenty to keep you entertained with theatres, comedy clubs and from the 1st of September until new year’s day you can see the Blackpool illuminations. The illuminations take place every year and are often described as the greatest free light show on earth . They feature colourful illuminated trams, lasers and millions of light bulbs in a riot of colours across the city.

One of the best places to eat is the Beach House Bistro & Bar on the seafront promenade. It has fabulous sea views and a varied menu.

9. Trentham Monkey Forest

You don’t need to go to Bali to go to a Monkey Forest, you can jump on the M6 from Liverpool and head to Stoke on Trent 1 hour and 20 minutes from Liverpool to see Monkeys at Trentham Money Forest .

This is one of the top days out near Manchester with kids I recommend and it works well for people coming from Liverpool too!

The Monkey Forest is home to  140 free-roaming Barbary macaque monkeys which you walk freely amongst. There is a path that takes you around the park and with your entry ticket, you can walk around as many times as you wish.

Regular feeding occurs which is really fun to see and during peak times the staff put on educational talks for children about the monkeys.

Outside of the park, there is a cafe and a good-sized play area . Next door is Trentham Gardens which are lovely to walk around and will offer you a more full day out from Liverpool.

10. Snowdonia, North Wales

Located in northern Wales, Eryri National Park ( Snowdonia) encompasses a mighty 823 sq. mi. (2132 km 2 ) and makes for a great day trip from Liverpool.  

It is home to Yr Wyddfa (Mt Snowdon) which gives its name to the parks and at 3560ft (1085m) it is the tallest mountain in Wales.

For the adventurous, hiking to Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) Summit is one of the best things include on your Snowdonia road trip   from Liverpool.  Reaching the summit requires a 5-7 hour hike , so an early start is recommended.

There are a number of different trails to choose from.  The most popular is the Pyg Track, which is the shortest and offers the most diverse views along the way.

If you’re visiting between April and October, you also have the option to take the scenic Snowdon Mountain Railway to the summit.  This is a great option for those exploring with family or with mobility issues.

It is also well worth adding stops at nearby Conwy Castle and Betws-y-Coed village to make the most of your day trip. 

Built in the the 13th century, Conwy Castle is one of the m ost impressive medieval fortresses in Europe and is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site .

A stop at the charming village of Betws-y-Coed makes you feel like you’ve been transported back in time.  As well as being a beautiful place to see, it is also a great place to stop for food.

The best way to get to Snowdonia from Liverpool is by car which takes approximately 2 hours (85 miles).  While there is technically public transport, this requires a number of trains and buses making it an unideal option for a day trip.

Finally, it is possible to book a tour to Snowdonia from Liverpool like this .   These will also typically include stops at Conwy Castle and Betws-y-Coed.

11. LLyn Pardan, North Wales

Llyn Padarn is one of the best day trips from Liverpool . Located in Eryri National Park (Snowdonia National Park) this beautiful lake is under a 2-hour drive from the city.

You’ll find Llyn Padarn in the charming town of Llanberis. The best way to get there is by car and if you don’t have your own, there are plenty of rental companies in Liverpool.

If you’d prefer not to drive, then you’re best off opting for a tour, such as this North Wales Tour which includes a visit to Llanberis.

The main reason to visit Llyn Padarn is simply its beauty. At around 2 miles (3.2 km) long, it’s one of the largest natural lakes in Wales , and it sits at the foot of Snowdon (the tallest mountain in Wales) .

Due to its variety of outdoorsy activities, Llyn Padarn is the perfect destination for outdoor lovers . First of all, there are plenty of water sports opportunities including kayaking, paddle boarding, and open-water swimming.  

You’ll also find lots of hiking trails in the surrounding area, with the Llyn Padarn Lake Walk being a popular option.

However, one of the best things to do at this beautiful place is to photograph the Lonely Tree. Located near the Snowdonia Watersports Centre , this tree is found on the shore of the lake, and sometimes it’s submerged depending on the water levels.

This ionic tree is one of the most photographed locations in Wales and is best admired at sunrise or sunset, especially as the crowds come here during the afternoon.

While here, don’t forget to head out on a ride on the Llanberis Lake Railway too, which will take you right alongside Llyn Padarn.

Aside from admiring the lake itself, you’ll find plenty of other attractions nearby including the National Slate Museum and Vivian Quarry.

12. Chester

Located in Cheshire, Chester is one of the most beautiful cities in the UK and an excellent option for a day trip from Liverpool.

You can easily get there in 45 minutes by car or train (direct from Lime Street), perfect for one of the day trips from Liverpool by train !

Chester was founded by the Romans and is full of history. Start your day in the city centre where you can go on a walk on the city walls. Once you reach Eastgate Clock, walk down the stairs to Eastgate Street.

This is the main high street and where you’ll find most of the shops. You will notice some stairs on the side, these lead to the famous Chester rows . They are a row of half-timbered galleries with loads of cute shops and cafes.

You can also reach Chester Cathedral and visit it for free.

If you are visiting on a sunny day, make sure to go to the River Dee. It’s beautiful there and you can go on a walk along the river or book one of the river cruises.

Another interesting place to visit is the Chester Racecourse. It’s the oldest racecourse still in operation in the world and they always have a lot of events on. You can easily get tickets for a race on their website.

If you are visiting with kids, you should also consider going to Chester Zoo . This is one of the  best zoos in North West England  and a great day out.

They have all sorts of animals including lions, giraffes and bears. They are also involved in a lot of charity work with animals and you can learn more about that while you visit.

The experience is enjoyable for children as well as for adults so even if you are t ravelling without kids , it’s well worth a visit.

13. Windermere, Lake District

The Lake District in England is a well-known holiday destination and it’s a popular getaway for the locals in Liverpool. It is an excellent place to just lay back and unwind, and take some time off to appreciate the beautiful natural sceneries.   

For a day trip from Liverpool , Windermere is a convenient and easy choice because Bowness-Windermere is a major hub connecting the Lake District to the rest of England. It’s about 2 hours by train from Liverpool  Lime Street Station. 

The Lake District is known for its unique and poetic charm due to its deep connection to artists, poets, and writers. Many of them found inspiration in their work, including the creation of Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter. 

Windermere is the largest natural lake in England , and the town is usually packed with tourists during summer therefore it’s a great time to beat the crowd and get there in spring as the tree begins to bud and the ground softens. Having said that, there’s no strict period to visit the Lake District as the look and feel are different in each season of the year.  

For families, visit the World of Beatrix Potter attraction . The story has been one of the most famous children’s books and the museum recreates Peter Rabbit’s world in 3D. 

For couples, check in an intimate Bed and Breakfast and go fine dining at L’Enclume , one of the ‘Best restaurants in the UK’ named by the Good Food Guide 2020. 

For active travelers, take a historic train ride on Lakeside’s Haverthwaite Railway , hop on a lake cruise, or go trekking in one of the many scenic trails … all those activities will be rewarded by the incredible sceneries that it’s hard to forget. 

Suggested by: Kenny from Knycx Journeying 

Embark on a hassle-free Lake District day trip from Liverpool by minibus, uncovering hidden gems and historical insights you might miss on your own.

14. Jodrell Bank

Are you ready to explore the wonders of space and discover the secrets that lie beyond our own planet? If so, then a visit to Jodrell Bank is the perfect day trip from Liverpool.

Jodrell Bank has been a popular day out for years , but the opening of the new First Light Pavillion visitor centre has made it an unmissable destination.

Jodrell Bank Observatory is in the Cheshire countryside , about halfway between Knutsford and Macclesfield. It’s a UNESCO World Heritage site in recognition of its contribution to space science, but it’s still one of the world’s most important astronomical research centres.

The star of the show is the iconic Lovell Telescope, which was built in 1957 and is still operational today. When the Soviet Union launched the world’s first satellite, Sputnik, later that year, the Lovell telescope, which is named after its creator Bernard Lovell, was the only one able to track it. Since then, it’s played a part in tracking space missions and the ongoing search for extraterrestrial life.

There are two main sections to the First Light Pavillion . One part is an innovative cinema which shows interesting films about space on its domed roof. The other highlight is a fantastic exhibition telling the fascinating story of the Jodrell Bank site.

Visiting Jodrell Bank   is an ideal day out for everyone ; families will appreciate the wide open spaces and kid-friendly exhibits, while even if you’re not interested in astronomy, it’s hard not to feel moved by the history that Jodrell Bank and the Lovell telescope has been part of.

Since it’s set in quiet countryside, by far the best way to get to Jodrell Bank is by car . Alternatively, you could get a train to Macclesfield or Holmes Chapel and then take a short taxi ride to the site.

15. Pontcysyllte Aqueduct and Llangollen, North Wales

Sometimes, North Wales might seem too far to travel for a day trip from Liverpool but one of the places that is closer as it is on the England and Wales border is the town of Llangollen!

Llangollen is based on a river and surrounded by hills. Recently, I went white water rafting on the river Dee with White Water Active which was a lot of fun and one of the top things I’d recommend doing in Llangollen.

Another one of my favourites is to drive out of the town a bit and walk up Castell Dinas Brân . Here, you can see amazing views and enjoy this hilltop ruin of a castle built in the 13th century .

One of the highlights of visiting Llangollen though is going to Pontcysyllte Aqueduct to see the canal along the top! This is a really unique Aqueduct, not only are its 19 arches impressive from afar but you can walk along the canal and aqueduct and also, hire kayak’s and sail across it yourself 38 meters above the river below!

For one of the fun days out from Liverpool with kids , I really recommend Llangollen as there are lots of activities to do, places to eat and nature to enjoy!

16. Peak Wild Life Farm, Peak District

Located in the south of the Peak District is Peak Wildlife Farm . It’s a mix between a zoo and a petting farm. Most of the animals are ‘safe’ animals to be close to but they are more interesting than sheep and ponies!

Walk amongst penguins and lemurs and buy some food when you enter the park to hand-feed the wallabies . These activities are so good for children and offer a memorable day out. New to the park are Polar Bears which are also incredible to see!

To ensure you make the most out of this day trip from Liverpool, whilst in the Peak District you could do one of these easy Peak District walks or visit the villages mentioned in this guide.

17. Sheffield

One day trip you can do from Liverpool is a trip to Sheffield which is England’s fourth-largest city and famous for its once-thriving steel industry that gained international importance for its fine silverware. Today, tourist attractions such as the Winter Gardens, which are one of the largest temperate glasshouses in the UK and home to over 2,000 plants, are open for visitors just like you to enjoy.

This is a city perfect for history and nature lovers and with a short 5-minute walk from the train station you can connect yourself with a hot drink from the indoor cafe at Millennium Gallery and from there begin your walk around the gardens.

To learn about the city’s industrial side, with a 7 minute walk from the city centre you have Kelham Island . Here you will find the Kelham Island Museum which tells the story of Sheffield’s contribution to the world’s steel market and has the finest display of cutlery items and tableware all made in Sheffield.

If you fancy a drink you can also find a great selection of microbreweries and pubs scattered around this neighbourhood too. Back in the city centre you have places to eat such as The Lucky Fox and Tamper Coffee House which are open for lunchtime meals, drinks or snacks.

To get to Sheffield from Liverpool Lime Street you can get a direct train which takes around 1 hour and 50 minutes. One of the best things about arriving in Sheffield is that you’ll find the city welcomes you with open arms and with just a few minutes walk from the train station you can get into the heart of the city centre.

Suggested by: Dan from  Backpacking Latin America

Leeds is a great day trip from Liverpool by train , with the Transpennine Express taking around an hour and a half to whizz across the country to Leeds.

Driving takes around 2 hours, and parking isn’t cheap in Leeds city centre , so the train is an easy and convenient way to go – book your tickets in advance to get the best deals on tickets.

Leeds is famous as a shopping city, with everything from designer shops to cute independent boutiques, vintage retro and all the high street names you would expect.  Trinity Shopping Centre has the high street shops, the Corn Exchange is a unique building full of independent stores and the Victoria Quarter is where to go for designer names, as well as to admire the beautiful architecture.

However, there is much more to Leeds than just shopping, and there are plenty  of fun things to do in Leeds City centre   to keep you busy, from axe throwing and bowling to afternoon tea.  If you like museums, check out The Royal Armouries, Leeds Art Gallery , Henry Moore Institute and Leeds Museum, which are all free, and pop into the Leeds Central Library for a coffee in their gorgeous Tiled Hall Café.

For lunch, head to the street food court in Kirkgate Market, where you can choose from  Indian or Thai food, Yorkshire pudding wraps, giant hotdogs and more.  Leeds has some excellent Thai restaurants like Thai Aroi Dee which has a great value lunch offer, and curry houses like Aagrah and Akbar’s.   You can even dine in Michelin-starred restaurant The Man Behind the Curtain which is open for lunch from Thursday to Saturday, although you’ll need to book a table!

If you plan to stay for the evening, there are some fabulous bars and restaurants to enjoy, and great music venues too, although you’ll need to make sure you don’t miss the last train back to Liverpool!

Suggested by: Claire Sturzaker from Tales of a Backpacker 

19. Manchester

Lastly, don’t overlook the nearby city of Manchester when planning your day trip from Liverpool!

Manchester is easily accessed by car, train and coach from Liverpool and if you’re looking for coach trips from Liverpool the journey is just 1 hour!

There are plenty of ways to spend one day in Manchester . If you have children, be sure to check out museums like the Science and Industry Museum and Manchester Museum . For all the Harry Potter vibes visit John Rylands Library , and there are so many cool shops and cafes in the Norther Quarter!

Out of the city centre, Trafford Park offers a huge range of activities like indoor skiing, snowboarding, sky diving and climbing with Dino Golf outside being another popular activity.

Best day trips and tours from Liverpool

Crosby beach.

Just a few miles north of Liverpool City Centre you will find Anthony Gormley’s impressive ‘Another Place’ installation at Crosby Beach. Consisting of 100 life-size, cast-iron figures looking out to sea, the installation stretches for around 3 kilometres along the beach.

The statues are spread out along the beachfront, and are made from casts of the artist’s own body. Some of the statues are even situated in the water, with the installation stretching for a kilometre out to sea.

This unique installation makes a walk along Crosby Beach ideal if you’re looking for some different things to do in Liverpool. You can easily pass an hour wandering along the beach and admiring this work of art. You can find out more about the artwork on Anthony Gormley’s website.

Pay and display parking is available near Crosby Beach if you want to drive. Alternatively you can use public transport, with both buses and trains running from Liverpool to Crosby, and vice versa, making it one of the easiest day trips to do.

If you are interested in his artwork you can find more here in the seaside town of Folkestone in Kent .

Lake District

A visit to the Lake District is one of the best day trips and tours you can do from Liverpool. There are plenty of great walks to do in the area, as well as some truly breathtaking viewpoints to visit.

Click here to see what amazing hikes you can do in the Lake District with AllTrails!

The Lake District is England’s biggest national park close to the border of Scotland , and is home to some of the highest mountains and peaks in the country. It’s an incredibly scenic area thanks to the stunning views created by a combination of the peaks and lakes.

It’s around an hour and a half drive from Liverpool to the southern part of the Lake District, with Windermere being one of the most popular spots in this area. If you don’t drive then it’s actually possible to take a tour to the area, which is considerably easier than trying to use public transport to get there and back in one day!

We recommend booking online in advance through Get Your Guide, as they offer a couple of tours and day trips from Liverpool to the Lake District with brilliant reviews. The exact itineraries do vary depending on the tour, but you’ll undoubtedly see some wonderful scenery throughout the course of the day. Lake District tours from Liverpool start from just £59 per person.

Alternatively, driving yourself means you can pick exactly which spots you want to visit in the area. If you plan to drive then we recommend reading our list of hidden gems in the Lake District , which covers some amazing spots like Blea Tarn and Cathedral Quarry.

We normally recommend spending at least a few days exploring the area, but if you don’t have time then a day trip from Liverpool is still worthwhile. If you do have the time to spend a night or two in the area though, we recommend doing so!

Click here to find some great accommodation options in the Lake District on Booking.com!

Manchester is one of the easiest day trips from Liverpool by train, with the journey taking just over half an hour. Trains run regularly between both cities throughout the day, so it’s a great option for a spontaneous day trip if you don’t fancy planning ahead!

Manchester has plenty to offer, from museums and art galleries to large open parks and quirky bars. Popular spots to visit include the Science and Industry Museum, Heaton Park and the John Rylands Library, which is well-known for its beautiful interior architecture.

Football fans may want to take the chance to take a stadium tour of either Old Trafford or the Etihad Stadium – the grounds of Manchester United and Manchester City respectively. If you’re visiting on a matchday then you may even be able to go watch a game (if you can get a ticket!), but if not then you can always visit the National Football Museum.

Click here to book your National Football Museum tickets!

Get Your Guide offer plenty of tours and things to do in Manchester, which can easily be booked via their website. One of the best options for seeing what the city has to offer is the hop-on hop-off bus tour. Tickets for this tour cost just £12 and there are 15 stops to help you discover some of the most interesting parts of the city.

If that doesn’t take your fancy then there are a number of other options available on Get Your Guide – from football stadium tours to food tours.

Click here to see what else Get Your Guide for your day trip to Manchester!

As one of England’s largest cities, it’s hard to see everything Manchester has to offer in just one day, so we do recommend spending a few days here if possible. Saying that, it’s still better to visit the city on a day trip from Liverpool than to not visit at all! If you do have time for two days in the city though, make sure to check out our weekend in Manchester itinerary!

Train tickets for your day trip from Liverpool to Manchester can be booked online in advance through Omio’s website, with prices starting from just £7 return.

Beatles day tour in Liverpool

It’s almost impossible to visit the city without at least a mention of the Beatles, so it’s hardly surprising that a number of days trips and tours in Liverpool focus on the Fab Four. It’s not exactly a day trip from the city, but a Beatles-themed day out is still a great option if you’re looking to fill a day!

There are plenty of notable locations to visit throughout the city, including Penny Lane, Strawberry Field, the Beatles statue, the famous Cavern Club and more. If that’s not enough for you then you can also visit the Beatles Story museum – a permanent exhibition of the band’s history.

The Beatles Story is home to an array of memorabilia, as well as replicas of significant locations including Abbey Road Studios and the aforementioned Cavern Club. Tickets to the museum cost just £19 per person if you book in advance through Get Your Guide.

If you’re looking to have a day out visiting some of the famous Beatles locations in Liverpool, then there are some more great options available on Get Your Guide. For £18 you can book a Beatles tour with stops at Penny Lane and Strawberry Field, also including a ticket to a hop-on hop-off bus tour of the city, which stops nearby the Cavern Club.

North Wales

North Wales is an easy day trip from Liverpool, with the option of taking an organised tour or planning your own trip. In many ways it’s worth taking a tour as it saves you the hassle of driving, and also gives you the chance to learn about the area from the friendly tour guides.

Get Your Guide have a wonderful day trip to North Wales from Liverpool, visiting Llandudno, Conwy and the beautiful Snowdonia National Park. You’ll also have the chance to visit the impressive Conwy Castle, which was built towards the end of the 13th Century.

Starting from £59 per person, it’s an affordable way to explore North Wales with an informative tour guide. Going inside Conwy Castle comes at an extra cost, but as it’s optional you can always give it a miss if you want to keep costs down.

Click here to book an amazing tour of North Wales through Get Your Guide!

It is possible to visit North Wales using public transport, but it can be time consuming and a hassle getting between different spots in one day. If you don’t want to take a tour then the best option is to drive.

There are plenty of great spots to visit if you do decide to drive to North Wales on a day trip from Liverpool. Some highlights include Snowdonia National Park, Anglesey and Caernarfon Castle, but there are plenty of great spots to discover!

A great day trip near Liverpool is to the dramatic Formby sand dunes. The impressive sand dunes here reach impressive heights, just a few metres away from the sea.

From the top of the dunes you get some lovely views of Formby beach, which stretches on for miles.

If you’re looking for cheap and easy family days out from Liverpool, then you definitely can’t go wrong with a visit to Formby. Both the dunes and the forest make it a great place for both adults and children alike.

There are a few different walking routes at Formby including a Squirrel walk and the Sefton Coastal Path, the latter of which stretches for 21 miles. For more information about what you can do in the area make sure to check out the National Trust’s website.

Situated around a 45-minute drive from Liverpool, the beach is easily accessible if you have your own car as a day trip. If not, then the best option is to take a train to Formby station, and it’s around a 35-minute walk to the beach from there.

Parking at the Formby car park is free for National Trust members, but costs £8.50 for non-members. If, like us, you think the parking is too expensive then you can find free roadside parking nearby on Harington Road .

Click here to see what different walks and hikes you can do at Formby with AllTrails!

Peak District

There are some great walks and viewpoints in the Peak District National Park that can easily be visited as a day trip or tour from Liverpool. The national park is perfect for those looking to go walking or hiking, but is also home to impressive stately homes, quaint villages and more.

Some of our favourite walks in the Peak District are at Chrome Hill , Thor’s Cave and Stanage Edge , which are all less than a 2 hour drive from Liverpool. If you’re looking to get out and about but don’t want anything too strenuous, then make sure to check out our list of easy walks in the Peak District.

Click here to see some of our favourite walks and many more in the Peak District with AllTrails!

Other spots to visit on a day trip from Liverpool include Haddon Hall, Chatsworth House , Matlock Bath and more. If you have an early start then you should be able to visit a few different spots in the Peak District in one day!

Getting to the Peak District from Liverpool is easiest if you drive yourself, as public transport is limited in the area. If you don’t have a car but know how to drive we recommend renting one for the day, as it’s by far the most convenient way to get around.

Click here to find great deals on renting a car on the Discover Cars website!

Last, but not least, on this list of day trips from Liverpool is the lovely coastal town of Southport. The town’s relaxed atmosphere make it an enjoyable escape from Liverpool’s bustling city centre.

Southport is a particularly great family day out from Liverpool thanks to the Pleasureland amusement park and Southport Pier, which is home to an array of working vintage amusement machines.

Other attractions in the area are the town’s beach and the RSPB Marshside Nature Reserve, which is a spot birdwatchers won’t want to miss! Find out more about the reserve on the RSPB website.

Southport is around a 45-minute drive from Liverpool, and can easily be combined with trips to Crosby and Formby. Alternatively, it is possible to take a train from Liverpool Central to Southport, but if you have the option to drive it makes it easier to visit a few spots in one trip.

What people love about Liverpool Tours

Fine tour with a lot of nice people from almost all over the world. To us it was a disappointment that the optional tour in Edinburgh with Johnnie Walker experts, advertised in the program, wasn’t available.

Lee was excellent. He gave us history and details of the sites we explored along with his fun sense of humor. It was obvious his passion to share his stories with us.

Thanks Greg, your lessons in history were well sutied to our trip. You are professional and amusing. I personally appreciated your taste is music and your attention to punctuality. Great trip.

Things to see and do in Liverpool

If you travel to the UK sightseeing, then the northern powerhouse of England is a “must-visit” location and Liverpool has to be on your list of places to go and see. Famed not only for its music, but also for its shopping,  food, history, architecture and its approach to fun.

For a more detailed list of things to do in Liverpool then we have a separate page to assist you with extra things to see and do in Liverpool.

The city is a mecca for weekend breaks for many nationals. With Liverpool airport and Lime Street station on hand, Liverpool is accessible from all points of the UK. The City is visited by people as far afield as London, Dublin and Edinburgh.

From Liverpool, BusyBus provides daily bus tours to North Wales to see castles, mountains and historic towns and villages, the Lake District to see the magnificent lake known as Windermere, stunning scenery and an introduction to Beatrix Potter and to Yorkshire where you can become immersed in the origins of the famous UK Textiles industries, visit the home of the Bronte Sisters and see a waterfall that featured in a famous film.

Historically, Liverpool is a catalyst for pop culture. Here you can experience the roots of this culture with the many Beatles experiences and Liverpool tour highlights. You could start with “ The Beatles Story ” a modern museum about the history of the Beatles and located on the historical Royal Albert Dock.

Statues of  the fab four, or just John Lennon and Paul McCartney, can be seen around the city, along with characters from the Fab Four’s songs, including Elenore Rigby. Visit the Cavern Club , and then venture into the city centre where you can still the feel the vibe of the city’s music culture.

Staying on the art theme, Liverpool has one of the four TATE art galleries (two in London). Tate Liverpool Art Gallery Set up by Henry Tate, an industrialist, in 1889. Henry was a man who made his fortune through sugar refinery and provided his art collection and funding to start the first art gallery.

The World Museum in Liverpool is one of the greatest museums in the United Kingdom. With collections and displays of life sciences, earth sciences and human cultures from around the world, it is also only a short walk front the city centre. BusyBus has one of its pick-up points at the entrance of the Liverpool World Museum on William Brown street.

You also can not ignore Liverpool Football Club. Understand what all the excitement is about by visiting the KOP,  seeing the players changing rooms, sit in the manager’s dugout on the pitch and absorb the sense of excitement of a match day.

Liverpool is a great weekend City for dining during those pleasant evenings with a large array of activities to try during the day. Spend some time down by the river and see where Liverpool’s maritime influence on the region started all those centuries ago with the Liver Building, The Cunard Building and the Royal Dock Authority Building (known collectively as the three Graces). You can rest your feet and sample the food on offer at the Royal Albert Dock, the first of its kind anywhere in the world.

Take a day tour by bus to see the North West’s countryside. Within an hour of leaving the city, you can be amongst the many mountains of North Wales or the Lake District or even walking along the cobblestone roads in Yorkshire.

Your bus tours will fit in really well with all the experiences Liverpool has to offer.  Right alongside the ghost walking tours, treasure hunts,  walking and drinking evening tours, or the Mersey Liverpool ferry cruises,  Liverpool really does have it all.

Public transport for Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour in Liverpool: what you need to know

All the info you’ll need to get to the Eras Tour at Anfield Stadium this week

It’s officially begun. Taylor Swift has officially touched down in Britain and commenced her UK leg of the Eras Tour. And following an epic three nights in Edinburgh , Liverpool’s up next. 

From June 13 to June 15, a total of over 150,000 Swifties will be descending on Anfield Stadium (usually the home of Liverpool Football Club). To avoid missing out on the pre-concert buzz (and Paramore’s supporting set), you’ll need to figure out exactly how you’re getting to the venue.

Make sure to leave with plenty of time to spare, Liverpool is about to get packed. Here’s all the travel details you need to know. 

TAYLOR SWIFT'S ERAS TOUR IN LIVERPOOL 💎  The ultimate guide to the Eras Tour in Liverpool . |👚  How to buy official Taylor Swift merch in Liverpool for her Eras Tour . 🏟️  Taylor Swift Anfield Stadium seating map . 🎤  Everything you need to know about Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour in the UK .

How to get to Taylor Swift concerts in Liverpool

Bus driver strikes are happening at the same time that Taylor is in town, meaning there’s likely to be some disruption. 

Stagecoach will be running the 917 shuttle bus from Commutation Row in the city centre to a pick-up and drop-off point on Arkles Road, next to the stadium. The service will start at 3.30pm each day. You can also hop on the 26 from Liverpool ONE bus station, the 17 from Queen Square Bus Station. Then there’s the 68/168 services between Bootle and Aigburth and the 14 and 19 from Queen Square which all stop a short walk from the ground. 

Train 

One of the closest train stations to Anfield is Lime Street Railway Station. It’s around two miles from the stadium and there will be a support team there to help you find transport direct to the stadium. 

You could also get the train to Sandhills or Kirkdales stations, which are both a 30-minute walk to the venue. If you don’t fancy the walk, there will be a concert bus costing £1.60 for adults and 80p for kids.

There won’t be any public parking available at the stadium itself. Liverpool FC warns that due to crowds and road closures there will be long waiting times for those wanting to use the drop off and pick up point on Utting Avenue.  Drivers will be best off finding parking in the city centre and hopping on a bus from there (find all the bus info above).

Taylor Swift pauses Scotland Eras Tour show until 'the people in front of me get help'

Taylor Swift 's acoustic set had some challenges on night one in Edinburgh, Scotland , and the Eras Tour star was not shy to pause her set.

During the second chorus of "Would've, Could've, Should've" from "Midnights," she strummed her guitar and asked security guards to help a fan, who seemed to need help.

"I’m just gonna keep playing until someone notices them," she said in a talk-sing voice for about a minute. "We’re going to keep talking until the people in front of me get help."

"I can do this all night," she added.

When the fan received attention from a medical team, and Swift heard they were OK, she said "Awesome." She mashed up "I Know Places" from "1989 (Taylor's Version)."

"'Tis The Damn Season" from "Evermore," which was cut from year two of the tour returned during the piano song. She mashed up "Daylight" from "Lover."

How Anfield will look for Taylor Swift tour as drone footage shows Liverpool transformation

T he Premier League season is over, and many of Liverpool's players are either preparing for Euro 2024, Copa America 2024, or enjoying their holidays after a campaign of 58 games across four competitions.

However, Anfield doesn't get to rest with Liverpool's stadium being prepared for more use, as US megastar Taylor Swift is bringing her Eras Tour concert to Merseyside Swift will play three concerts at Anfield , from Thursday June 13 to June 15 with thousands of fans in attendance.

The global Eras tour kicked off in March 2023 in Arizona, before heading across the United States and Europe. The Liverpool shows will be her 100th of the tour, and a big surprise is expected to mark the occasion.

Ahead of Swift's arrival on Merseyside, Mister Drone UK has been to Anfield and posted a video showing the stadium's progress from a football arena to a musical one. You can watch the video here , with the footage showing there is still some way to go before its completion.

One individual commented on the video, saying: "We've still got a lot of work to be done on the perimeter of the pitch which will take a couple of days to complete.

"The stage will be transported from Scotland arriving on Monday hopefully. It will then get dismantled and transported to Taylor Swift's next venue before we go through the whole procedure again with the stage that will be used for Pink two concerts.

"Check out the club's seating plan for the Taylor Swift concert which gives a good indication of just how big the stage is, even more so with the catwalk section that extends to the half way line."

Liverpool.com says: It'll be interesting to see how Anfield looks by the time the concerts roll around, and the city will be flooded with excitement with the influx of Swift fans in the coming week. It will be spectacular few days and should bring a financial boost to the Reds.
