What to do and see in Woolton, England: The Best Sights & Landmarks
Liverpool's fortunes have historically been tied to shipping. But imports and exports like sugar, spice and tobacco pale in comparison with Liverpool's most famous export of all—the Beatles. Relive the hysteria at the Beatles Story Experience, and check out Paul's childhood home, but also leave time for exploring Liverpool Cathedral and the Walker Art Gallery.

We are a lovely Anglican Church located in Woolton village, South Liverpool. The cornerstone for the current Church was laid in 1886, and it was built from local sandstone. The 90-ft high bell tower contains 8 bells and is the highest point in Liverpool with fabulous views of Merseyside, Lancashire, Cheshire and the Welsh hills. Inside are many fine features, including a wonderful Church organ and a beautiful set of stained glass windows, designed by the famous artist Charles Kempe. The two smaller windows were removed from the original church and were designed by William Morris. St Peter's Church is most famous for being the location where John Lennon met Paul McCartney on July 6, 1957, and the Lennon-McCartney partnership was born. The Church graveyard provides the final resting place for 'our' Eleanor Rigby, as well as John Lennon's uncle, George Toogood Smith, and Bob Paisley, the most successful manager in the history of Liverpool Football Club.

We stopped by St Peter's to see Eleanor Rigbys headstone. Made famous by Lennon and McCartney. We then walked around the church yard to see all the lonely people. A very nice church and yard.

A1960’s semi detached house perfectly preserved on a modern street, great to see it. Bought by Yoko Ono and gifted back to the nation.

As a Beatles fan this was a ‘must visit’ on my list. We came on a Saturday morning and there was only one other person in the exhibition area. We stayed for over an hour here and no o e else came in. I think when the tourists start to come back onwards the summer it will be very popular. It was an audio tour with lots of interesting info. Although the building is large the exhibition is in one room. Ethan greeted us when we arrived. Friendly, polite, a credit to his employer (as were all the staff). A lovely cafe which was packed. Doors from here lead out to the gardens which must be beautiful in summer (we had a rather blustery walk). The original red gate is out here. I’m not usually one for gift shops but some of the items were lovely...2 t shirts, 4 bars of chocolate, a water colour and shopping bag later, we left. Totally recommend a visit. We stayed for a couple of hours but would have stayed longer in the garden in better weather.
