Anfield
Anfield in Liverpool holds no less significance for the Kop (the nickname for Liverpool FC fans) than Old Trafford does for Manchester United supporters. The history of Anfield serving Liverpool FC dates back over 100 years. Built in 1884, it was initially owned by Everton FC. In 1892, the club left due to an inability to pay the high rent, and Liverpool FC was established that May. Since then, Anfield has been their home ground, unchanged. Over its 120-year history, Anfield has witnessed all the glorious moments. This football theatre of dreams has four stands, with the Kop stand being the most important, reserved for loyal Liverpool fans. The stand built to celebrate the club's centenary is now named after legendary figure Kenny Dalglish. The Anfield Road stand is primarily for visiting fans. After two rounds of expansions to the main stand and Anfield Road stand, the stadium now accommodates over 60,000 spectators.Liverpool · 24.1 km from Southport

The Beatles Story Museum, Liverpool
Albert Dock brings us not only the memories of Liverpool's past as a maritime trading port, but also the incomparable nostalgia and intoxication for the Beatles. The Beatles are a British rock band. They have multi-style innovations in musical techniques, sold hundreds of millions of records worldwide, won 8 Grammy Awards, and were awarded the Order of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth II in 1965. Using "immortal legend" to describe the Beatles is a little pale. Years later, this British rock band has been regarded as a great band in the history of world rock music. Although the death of the band's soul John Lennon made the resurrection of the Beatles a dream that could never be realized, their music still remains Infecting the world, touching people's heartstrings, the enthusiasm of fans has also increased. In the Beatles Memorial, you can see guitars, microphones, iconic glasses and even his manuscripts and autographed photos used by the band's soul frontman John Lennon, and the museum displays songs from The Beatles from the obscure pub Every step of the star journey to the glorious FlowerGeneration period. The classic song "Image" echoed in the pavilion, and I believe that many people could not help but sigh for John Lennon, an unsurpassed genius in the music industry. You can also buy a lot of Beatles souvenirs in the museum, such as badges, commemorative shirts, guitar picks, etc. Visitors can also sign up for the "Legend Tour" and take a sightseeing bus to get a thorough understanding of the places related to the Beatles. everything about them.Liverpool · 27.4 km from Southport

This is a pilgrimage, as a Liverpool fan. No matter how this journey is perceived by others, it is a perfect one in my heart. Especially when I passed through the player tunnel and saw the sign of Anfield, my heart was filled with emotion. When I stood on the stadium and closed my eyes, I could imagine the bustling crowds here on match days.

it was very good experience to go to Blackpool Pleasure Beach, around October they have beautiful illumination that we can see from around 6 pm until 10 pm. While waiting for the lights, we could even have fun in arcades.

If you are a Beatles fan the museum is a must . The museum is interactive and has a media guided audio tour that is interesting. I learned a lot.

WWT Martin Mere Wetland Centre is basically a botanical garden with a small pond. The overall scenery is pretty good, with a quiet and elegant natural scenery. It is worth a visit.

[Scenery] Fylde Coast Ice Arena and Southport Pier are two great attractions. It is so beautiful to walk around and ride a bicycle and watch the sunset!
[Fun] Just find a small pub and sit in to watch the sea and listen to the waves. It is very beautiful
