  • Guide to Liverpool Waterfront
    Guide to Liverpool Waterfront “Three Graces” – Together the Royal Liver Building, Cunard Building and the Port of Liverpool Building make up the Mersey’s ‘Three Graces’ and are at the architectural centre of Liverpool’s iconic waterfront. A massive engineering project has recently extended the canal in front of these three buildings, adding beautifully landscaped seating areas and viewpoints along the canal and the river. Museum of Liverpool – this brand new museum, opened in 2011 is a magnificent addition to Liverpool’s waterfront. Celebrating the origins and heritage of the city, it features collections from National Museums Liverpool that have never been seen before. Otterspool Promenade – The construction of Otterspool Promenade (1950) provided both a new amenity for Liverpool and an open space dividend from the disposal of Mersey Tunnel spoil and household waste; a project repeated three decades later to reclaim the future International Garden Festival site. A favourite with kite fliers this often overlooked wide open space is perfect for views of the river and picnics Antony Gormley’s “Another Place” - These spectacular sculptures by Antony Gormley are on Crosby beach, about 10 minutes out of Liverpool. Another Place consists of 100 cast-iron, life-size figures spread out along three kilometres of the foreshore, stretching almost one kilometre out to sea. The Another Place figures - each one weighing 650 kilos - are made from casts of the artist's own body standing on the beach, all of them looking out to sea, staring at the horizon in silent expectation. Mersey Ferry - There's no better way to experience Liverpool and Merseyside than from the deck of the world famous Mersey Ferry listening to the commentary.
