Things to do in Liverpool and Merseyside
Merseyside has a rich industrial heritage and has been a centre for world trade for many years. In the past Liverpool was at the heart of the cotton and slave trade
and much of it's early wealth was created from this trade. More recently Liverpool has re-invented itself. Recent developments have seen extensive investment in projects
suct as Liverpool One - a fabulous makeover for Liverpool city centre. Liverpool is a great place to visit as there are many quality attractions. The area has
fantastic buildings, Racecourses, a number of large parks, extensive beaches and nature reserves and a vibrant social scene. Liverpool is one of the
few ports in the world where cruise liners such as the QE2 are able to dock in the heart of the city. Plenty to see and do for all ages.

Liverpool One is Liverpool's new shopping centre and was designed to bridge the gap between the Albert Dock area and the existing Church Street shopping area.  Formby Beach & Nature reserve is one of Merseyside's hidden gems. The Sefton Coast is the largest sand dune system in England. The golden sandy beach stretches from Formby to Southport and is backed by sand dunes and woodland. Erosion of sand on the beach at Formby is revealing layers of mud and sediment, laid down and covered in the late Neolithic/early Bronze Age, approximately 3,500 - 4,000 years ago. These sediments often contain the footprints of humans and animals (most commonly aurochs) from that period.  28th & 29th Aug 2011
