I recently visited Liverpool Cathedral for the first time, and I was absolutely blown away. It is an incredibly beautiful and inspiring building, and I was completely captivated by it. The cathedral is made of red sandstone, and it has a very distinctive Gothic style. It is the largest cathedral in the United Kingdom, and it took over 70 years to build.

This place is big - really big. You keep finding more alcoves and side chapels and bits to explore. Would have liked more time in there. We went into the café for coffee and cake and it was busy which is good to see.

Right up to the top of the Tower, lift part way followed by plenty of steps up and steps all the way down again. Alan, guide, gave plenty of details as to the building of the tower, phenomenally thick walls, the installation of the bells (31 tons in weight!), the heaviest and highest ringing peal of bells in the world, and the way in which the weight is spread out into the walls - 220 tons of steel being used. Visit not only to the bell room but the bell ringers room too and an explanation of the soundproofing to prevent them being deafened. Memorials to the funding of the bells, RAF Coastal Command and others can only be seen way up in the tower - completely invisible from ground level. Close ups of the stained glass windows. Amazingly intricate work which, again, is completely invisible from the ground level. Plenty of opportunities to see the outside sights from various levels, all over Liverpool, North Wales etc, if the weather is helpful. The Welsford Bistro also very good, Traditional Scouse with red cabbage and homemade bread £9.50 very good. Plenty of alternatives.

We visited last week and what a beautiful building, the inside is absolutely gorgeous, and very atmospheric, I lit a candle, it's such a beautiful place. There was a service taking place. We had lunch in the cafe which was lovely. I will definitely visit again Definitely a place to visit when in Liverpool

What a wonderful tour by Mike and Alan. Both very knowledgeable and to see behind the scenes of the church and go outside onto amazing viewpoints! £25 per person but such a memorable experience and is so worth it. It's run by volunteers and they even spent an extra 30 minutes with us! Truly a great day even in the rain!

This cathedral dominates the Liverpool skyline and it is a singly impressive brick structure. It is within an easy walk of the CBD with a gentle incline. The gardens are expansive and well maintained. It is worth a look.

Such friendly people and so much to do. We did the magical mystery tour, checked out Mathew Street, Albert Dock, maritime history museum, the cathedral, ferry cruise etc. Even bumped into a couple of celebs and they were more than happy to have a photo with us. We didn't get everything in but loved our visit there.

Great experience, exploring largest UK cathedral. Definitely recommend the Bell Tower tour, two lifts and 108 steps. All well signed and secure. Great views of the city from the top. Decent price, £20 for family ticket.

We went on a comprehensive tour where they showed us everything, even the closed areas. We really enjoyed this new full-circle Cathedral presentation. The foreign guide was very friendly and funny. It can provide valuable experiences for all age groups.

Wow - I don't think I was prepared for just how large this building is. It is amazing, so large, confident and reverent. We visited at Evensong which was a joy. Like many places in Liverpool, it is free to enter although do make a donation. This is a modern building with Victorian bones and just utterly beautiful.
