The last week in Manchester, we plan to see some of the local area, including Liverpool, which is less than an hour's drive from Manchester. Liverpool is famous as the birthplace of the Beatles, but it is also a well known port. In fact, Liverpool was listed as the port of registry for the ill fated Titanic. (See THIS LINK for more information on Liverpool's link to the Titanic and THIS LINK for more information on Liverpool.) Because of its proximity to Manchester, we will make day trips to Liverpool to explore the city.
