Overview

This 1.5-hour walking tour begins outside The Philharmonic Pub & Dining Rooms, a Grade 1 listed building known for its connection to Liverpool Cain's brewery. The guide meets the group here and provides an introduction. The tour then proceeds to the Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ the King, where visitors can observe the cathedral's distinctive architecture. Next, the group walks along Rodney Street, recognized as one of the most haunted streets in northern England, while the guide shares stories of ghost sightings. The tour continues to the Wellington Rooms building, noted for its faded Victorian grandeur. A brief 10-minute stop called A Case History follows, where a story about bodysnatching in Liverpool is told. Passing Blackburne House, the oldest building on Hope Street, the guide explains its links to slavery and its role in educating young girls. The group then visits Liverpool Cathedral, Britain’s largest cathedral, to view its Gothic design. The final stop is St James Gardens, a former necropolis for nearly 58,000 people, now a quiet green space in the city. The tour is led by local guides and operates in all weather conditions. Food, drinks, gratuities, and hotel pickup or drop-off are not included. The minimum age to participate is eight years.
