Liverpool offers a multitude of museums and art galleries, not forgetting the amazing Beatles story. Both Manchester and Liverpool have a range of world class museums and galleries, and an abundance of outstanding architecture. With a lively culture of pavement cafes, canal side bars, and excellent night life.

If it is seaside fun you are looking for than a visit to Blackpool is a must, which is home to the pleasure beach, with rides like the Play Station and the Pepsi Max. If this is a bit too strenuous you can enjoy a stroll down the sea front which has been enjoyed by many since the Victorian era.

If you are looking for English history than Chester is a must. It boasts the most complete city wall, the largest Roman amphitheater uncovered in Britain. Chester is a wonderful city compact enough to explore on foot. Few places can offer the Old World feel of Chester with its Tudor architecture, Norman Cathedral, and medieval shopping galleries.

The North West also offers beautiful countryside and wildlife. Visit the Lune Valley and the Forest of Bowland, discover the grit stone moorland and hidden valleys. Experience why this area is a designated 'Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty'.
