Liverpool Holiday Flats and Apartments

LIVERPOOLS CATHEDRALS

The accommodation that we have to offer in Liverpool is situated very close to Liverpools fantastic cathedrals. Each cathedral is located at either end of Hope Street, which is just around the corner from each apartment site. The Anglican cathedral is Sir Giles Gilbert Scotts masterpiece built on St. James Mount and is visible from miles and miles around. It is architecturally amazing and extremely beautiful, and well worth a visit. At the other end of Hope Street is the other majestic site of Liverpools Metropolitan Cathedral, (affectionately known in Liverpool as Paddys Wig-Wam due to the shape). Designed by Sir Frederick Gibberd, its modern design perhaps is in direct contrast to the Anglican Cathedrals gothic architecture, however, completely beautiful in its own right.

THE BEATLES AND THE CAVERN

All apartments are within walking distance of Mathew Street (website) and The Cavern. Many people are drawn to Liverpool by the lure of its musical history, especially during the August Bank Holiday each year when the Mathew Street Beatles Festival attracts over 500,000 people. Mathew Street has its own website dedicated to its history on which you can even check out what is happening right now on its very own webcams.

Here you can also find out about the regular Magical Mystery Tours around Liverpool, which gives you a full insight into the history and whereabouts of The Beatles throughout their career whilst also taking you to their remaining childhood homes across Liverpool. Each tour finishes at The Cavern itself where you can explore where the Mersey Beat all began.

SHOPPING

Both apartment sites are within easy walking distance from local supermarkets and all the great shopping areas around Liverpool City Centre. Closest by being Bold Street, which houses a selection of independent local business as well as corporate giants such as Warehouse, Karen Millen, Monsoon, Waterstones and very many more. Other great shopping areas include St Johns Precinct (for all those bargain hunters amongst you), Church Street (for great High Street names such as Top Shop, HMV, Next).

Liverpool is also in the throws of a major regeneration of its centre. With the development of The Paradise Street/Chavasse Park area, a huge new retail and leisure district is in the process of being built. Please check this development out for yourself at Liverpool 08 and Paradise Street.

THEATRES

Liverpool Holiday Flats are situated close to the many Theatres within Liverpool City Centre, with Catharine Street being located in the cultural quarter where theatres are aplenty. The Empire has many touring shows for example Cats, Madame Butterfly and many more. Their web site is certainly worth a look at.

FOOTBALL STADIUMS

Liverpool is famous for its two great football teams with Liverpool Football Club at Anfield and Everton Football Club at Goodison Park. Both stadiums are situated around Stanley Park which is located 2 miles outside the city centre. However, both apartments are located within walking distance of the main station from which a train to Sandhills Station on the Southport Line takes you to the Soccer Bus and then directly to the stadium.

Both Liverpool and Everton have regular stadium tours which can be booked on their web sites. Football talk here.

THE AINTREE GRAND NATIONAL

The central location of Liverpool Holiday Flats self catering apartments enables our customers easy access to Liverpools public transport links. From these links journeys to the Grand National at Aintree Race Course are quick and easy to undertake. Aintree is situated 5 miles out of the city centre, however, both buses and trains have direct links from the city centre to the racecourse.
