Really great ride...for a quick turn and burn on the Mersey Ferry's Snowdrop…read more We hopped on the ferry from the Gerry Marsden Pier (Liverpool side) and hopped on and off (but you don't have to) Seacombe (Wirral side). Since we skipped the 50min tour (we were already on a bus tour two days prior), we made it a quick out and back via the commuter ferry times. Going before 9a.m. (or after 5:30 p.m.) will save you in cash and time. The staff both on shore and aboard were extremely helpful and nice. They made the trip seamless, and it's probably 10min one way (10min back). It's too short for seasickness, so it's twice as good. It was an iconic trip (even as brief as it was), and you can do it on the cheap, and TIP: Pay on the other side! Recommend the commuter ferry!

On weekdays it leaves Ferry Nab (B5284) at 06.50 hrs and then about every 20 minutes until 21.50 hrs. On Sunday it starts running later at 09.10 hrs. Each return from Ferry House (B5285) is ten minutes later. winter times are the same, but the Ferry stops at 20.50 hrs. A single for a car is £3.50, and with a caravan £7.00.

We had a lot of fun riding the Ferry. We got the Daily Double ticket which was a combination of…read moreriding the Hop ON Hop Off and The Mersey Ferry for a discount price. It is not well advertised so make sure you ask for it.The Ferry goes over to the other side of the river and stops at two stops including the Submarine tour. The lines move fairly fast so you purchase your ticket and get in line. If you are lucky enough to be in the front of the line you can choose where you sit otherwise it's pot luck. Depending on the weather the seats up top go fast. It was cold and raining the day we were there so we sat inside at a table and chair. We had very good views. The ferry is painted very bright colors so it helped make it a quirky fun experience.

I have travelled from here to the Isle of Man each year since 1947 and can remember the old…read moreterminal with its large Hall, the motorcycle tank draining depot and all the old ramps. I also remember ocean liners lined up along the docks.... Nowadays it is somewhat modernised and there are no liners any more but with the introduction of Cat ferries it is easier to get our vehicles aboard through large open back doors rather than driving up rickety ramps and then going on a spiral ramp on board. It is great sitting under the shadow of the Lyver Building waiting to be called or leaving the car in the car park and visiting the Albert Dock. I'm usually first in the queue each year (yes, I'm that keen) and meet up with TT fans from all over the UK and the continent who are making their visit to the TT. There is also a small cafe where you can get refreshments and loos.

What we noticed first was just how basic this place is. It's a fine building, clean, bright, airy…read moreand almost empty. Then we realised just how quiet it was around us as a commercial port area. We've toured Europe over the last 6/7 weeks with two weeks cruising Europe and so we've been in a half dozen industrial Spanish, Portuguese and French ports and all of them were really active, and very busy from we arrived until we departed - usually an 8 hour span each time. This deep port terminal was quiet, eerily quiet. No real trade or commerce quiet mid week 8am in a major city. We began to wonder if it's deathly quiet is a result of Brexit as the signs are all around in plain sight - British productivity has fallen through the floor, inflation is toward double figures and recession has arrived. There's no longer a functioning health service yet the government pretends there is opting to spend billions in Ukraine from its money tree, gp's have vanished behind closed and locked doors as they are told there's no money tree so appointments are like getting a golden ticket to Willie Wonka's place and public dentistry has all but disappeared. Two of it's former prime ministers accurately said leaving Europe would make Britain much poorer and they had to lose the battle to be proved right with the super rich and the working poor voting to leave Europe and in doing so have thrown everything away in pursuit of something that's not worth it. It'll be several months at least before we reluctantly pass this way again. By that stage the kamikaze British government may continue acts of self harm and break the international protocol agreement they themselves opted for. If they do then they'll also completely devastate their fishing industries in Scotland and Southern England and do the same to the fishing and diary industries in Northern Ireland and all quite literally overnight. In this likely next step by the government port terminals like this sleepy one will have very little to offer in terms of work. It's so bad here that even the chief government spin doctor an Australian bloke who was the architect of pushing Brexit and was behind the bus poster campaign said this week that they should have stayed in the single market. The bus posters promised millions of pounds annually to their NHS but instead they have it desperately needing life support. Their government couldn't run a bath but at least their spin doctor has a thriving country to go home to.

For spectacular views of Liverpool's impressive skyline, there is no better vantage point than…read moreBirkenhead's Woodside Ferry Terminal. Close to Hamilton Square, the first station on the Wirral from Liverpool, this is an amazing location that catches the eye of any motorist driving from Birkenhead to the Wallasey Tunnel. As a born and bred scouser the vista from this site never fails to make the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end. There isn't much here besides a tranquil cafe, great for staring out at the perfect panorama, the Liver Birds, the Echo Arena, the Port of Liverpool building or any of the city's new waterfront additions. Sitting there today (30 August) among just a couple of people, it was interesting to wonder just how busy Liverpool was during the Beatles inspired day of the Mathew Street festival. Far removed from the peace and quiet of Woodside. I could quite easily spend a day here with my Canon, but I'd recommend a very wide lens to fit in all Liverpool has to offer.
