Liverpool - Lake Windermere TOUR INFO "This morning, we set out to explore Liverpool with a local guide. Along the way, learn about the rich heritage of this historic port. Later, spend time at the restored Albert Dock complex or perhaps visit The Beatles Story (the world's largest permanent exhibition devoted to the group), the Maritime Museum or the International Slavery Museum. Then, we travel to the scenic Lake District and settle into our hotel for two nights on the shores of Lake Windermere."

Our local guide this morning was knowledgable and offered interesting stories about Liverpool.  After our tour of the city, we had three hours for lunch and free time.  We visited several of the Merseyside Maritime Museum exhibits; Titanic and Liverpool, Lusitania - Life, Loss and Legacy - the Untold Story, Liverpool and Slavery, The Atlantic War, and Seized/Custom.  I also went to the Liverpool Museum and looked at the exhibit about the bombing destruction in Liverpool during WWII.


Our ride to the Lake District was uneventful.  As we got nearer to our destination, I was fascinated by the amazing network of stonewalls across the fields.  They were works of art and as Russ pointed out the individual builders each had a distinct patterns.  


Pennsylvania people, Lake Windermere reminds me of Lake Wallenpaupack 50-100 years ago.  We enjoyed another group dinner at our lovely Low Wood Bay Resort.

The Ladies’ Chapel in the Liverpool Cathedral.  

The main altar of the Liverpool Cathedral.  



The statue above the door is a crucifix at the entry to the LIVERPOOL Cathedral.

Carved sandstone statues.

This Cathedral is massive with no fixed pews. It is used for church, rock concerts, exhibitions  and  other large group gatherings.

One of the largest pipe organs in UK.  Chairs are lined up for services.

Not finding a lot of time to do posts.  I may not accomplish this every day.  I am also finding it difficult to edit my posts at this time.  Forgive me.  .
