Liverpool Cathedral is a breathtaking masterpiece of architecture and spirituality, standing proudly as one of the most iconic landmarks in the city.

It’s well worth the climb, as the sight of the cityscape stretching out to the River Mersey is unforgettable. The cathedral often hosts exhibitions, concerts, and events, adding to its vibrant and welcoming community spirit. The staff and volunteers are friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about sharing the history and significance of this extraordinary building. Whether you’re drawn by faith, history, architecture, or simply seeking a moment of quiet reflection, Liverpool Cathedral offers an unforgettable experience. It’s a place that leaves a lasting impression and is a must-visit when exploring this vibrant city.

Spectacular. Better inside than out. The outside looks austere and somewhat lacking in charm. It's only inside that one can appreciate the feel of the building. Constructed in the early 20th century, it lacks the ornamentation of older cathedrals but it more than makes up for it in the impression of space. The central area feels huge. It's the only building in which I've experienced vertigo looking up. A few minutes walking around dispel the initial cold, impersonal feeling given by the dark red blocks and visible mortar. The restrained decorations & hangings and the subtle lighting give warmth to the interior. The well stocked gift shop is placed discretely and incorporated sympathetically into the main building. All the staff were chatty, helpful and eager to answer questions and impart information. Highlights for me were the main tower, the whispering arch and the font. Apologies for the slightly wonky pictures. I had to shoot quickly to avoid tourists.

Very nicely maintained and beautiful cathedral, showcasing finest architecture and great Ambiance. Lovely feels of history and overall great vibes. One of the jewel in Liverpool Landmarks..!! You can go on the top of it for city viewing as well for a ticket, otherwise its free. Parking is also available on site and prices are adequate too.
