Loved the tour around the observatory. Staff were very knowledgeable about the site. Well worth the money paid would love to go back and see how the tour has evolved. Would recommend a visit.
Really interesting place. I want to spend more time there. It is available for hire and you can stay overnight.
Lovely peaceful walk round the windmill and observatory. Great view across to Liverpool. Nice little Farm off to the dude of the carpark area.
This place will really take you by surprise! I and a few friends took a history/heritage tour a little earlier in the year, and the sheer amount of unexpected stories that this place had to tell was epic! I don't even want to spoil them for you - see if you can go on a tour for yourself! Visiting also means you get to explore Bidston Hill itself, which also has an old lighthouse right next door (which is now a brilliant little book shop and mini museum), a windmill, the Tam O'Shanter Urban Farm, and all of the nature trails on the hill itself. There are even some ancient carvings dotted around the hill.
Great walk and views. Carry on to get to the windmill and loop round to Tom o'shanter Farm. Great for dogs and the hill is a very easy slope.
