Review of Mersey Ferries

...a trip on the famous Mersey Ferry. This is a must for any visitor to the City, the ferry boats were much larger than I expected and I could hardly believe how many people could get on board one boat, but you did not feel crowded once aboard. The boat trip gives you the opportunity to see the City from the river and how impressive it really is. There is a very informative commentary during the trip, but it is not intrusive and you do not see any crew ...
...boat, like after a London river trip. We got on the boat at the Pier Head, which is near the famous Albert Docks, and in all the journey takes 50 minutes, this includes a stop at Seacombe and a stop at Woodside. For a family ticket this cost £9, which I thought was very reasonable. You can get off at either stop and rejoin a later boat using the same ticket. We decided to get off at Seacombe and visit the Aquarium there. The Aquarium is not too large ...

Review of Mersey Ferries

...had heard of the famous Mersey Ferry. Then in the 1960's when the Mersey Sound dominated popular music, Gerry and the Pacemaker's had a gigantic hit with "Ferry Cross the Mersey". Later it was to become the anthem for the supporters of that great club Liverpool FC. When I visited Liverpool again in the 1970s I did not have enough time to take a trip on the Ferry and it was only in 1992,when visiting my daughter,who was studying at Liverpool University,that ...
...further trips in 1993 and 1998 and found it was an interesting way of travelling in Merseyside. Visually much more interesting than going through the tunnels or by tube train. I boarded the ferry at the Pier Head and thoroughly enjoyed my trip to the Wirral. The ferry is comfortable enough and seemed to attract a lot of exuberant youngsters,mothers with babes, and foreign visitor. Fortunately on the four occasions I have travelled on the ferry,the ...

Review of Mersey Ferries

Liverpool has a Ferry Service. This service consists of about 10 boats that were used during the war. The services are very frequent and stop at Seacombe, and Liverpool. There are other stops aswell though but I have forgotten Their names. The ferries are huge with a cafe inside. Also you can read the plaques on the bulk head that tell you about the history of a specific boat. The services are every hour and are never late. About 100 can travel on ...
...also hire a ferry for a themed party or charity event. There are two decks and many facilities. If you are on the top deck you can see right to the bottom of the River Mersey. I would recommend anyone to visit this attraction. PS I LIVE in Liverpool and Know everything about these ferries. If you would like to know specific items tell me. COST About £2.00 for a child FREE for OAPs About £3.90 per adult ...
