Ashley Lightfoot

An absolute must visit if you are in Liverpool. It is a magnificent building inside and not as old as it appears. Some fantastic stained glass windows and architecture inside to explore. Helpful volunteers on hand to help you, and there is a guide book avadible in the shop to give a bit more information on the cathedral. The climb to the top of the tower includes a few steps but is mostly by lift, and at the top, the view gives an unlimited view of the city and surrounding area. When you get back down there is a cafe and small shop or you can wonder around again!

An interesting place and something different from the normal English Heritage property. The last entry to the hall is 15:00, inside you will find an amazing entrance hall. You are free to wonder round with information boards in each room and a volunteer on hand. There is no photography allowed in the hall, but you can get a guidebook with pictures in. The gardens are well kept with plenty of benches. Cafe, gift shop and toilets.

A fantastic hidden gem. If you visit the National Justice Museum, you can do both on a joint ticket. We had Natasha as our guide and she was fun and knowledgeable telling us about the history of the cave, there use as cellars, beer stores, ice rooms, tannery and air raid shelters. You can also see remains of past buildings hidden under the streets of Nottingham. Few steps and uneven floors as well as low bits but you are warned. Little shop, no toilets

It's surprising to find a site this size free, there are information boards but no guide book available on the website considering its an important site. There is a small carpark but the brown signs disappear after a bit. Seems the local kids hang out here and there is litter kicking about. Must of been something in its day and there is still a fair bit to explore

Chipchase is still a private house but for £8 per person, you can get a guided tour of part of to house. You will also get access to the Chapel in the grounds and the garden. Tours start every half hour. The house is only open in June from 1pm till 5 pm so ch3ck the website before visiting. Carpark in front of the house, use the main entrance from the road to access it as there is no brown signs. Guide book avadible for £2
