If you are staying in Liverpool this season, you are perfectly placed to explore some of the UK’s most iconic sights. While the city itself has enough culture to fill a lifetime, many visitors want to head out for a day to see the Roman walls of Chester, the bright lights of Blackpool, or the breathtaking scenery of the Lake District.
However, if you are travelling as a group, the “fun” day out can quickly turn into a logistical nightmare of train delays and expensive multi-taxi bookings. At Manpool Transfers, we make the journey as enjoyable as the destination.
1. The Historic Walls of Chester
Distance from Liverpool: 20 Miles (Approx. 40-50 Minutes)
Chester is one of the best-preserved medieval cities in England. You can walk the full circuit of the Roman walls, shop in the unique 700-year-old “Rows,” or visit the world-famous Chester Zoo.
- The Public Transport Trap: While the Merseyrail is frequent, the walk from Chester station to the city centre or the Zoo can be a long trek, especially for families or those with limited mobility.
- The Manpool Way: We provide a direct door-to-door service. We can drop you at the Eastgate Clock and pick you up from the Zoo entrance later that afternoon.
2. The Golden Mile: Blackpool
Distance from Liverpool: 55 Miles (Approx. 1 Hour 10 Minutes)
Blackpool is the quintessential British seaside experience. From the adrenaline of the Pleasure Beach to the iconic Blackpool Tower, it’s a massive hit for families and groups of friends.
- The Public Transport Trap: Getting to Blackpool by train usually involves a change at Preston. On a busy Saturday, these trains are often standing-room only, which isn’t ideal for a long day out.
- The Manpool Way: Travel together in a Mercedes V-Class. With full climate control and a professional driver, you’ll arrive at the North Pier refreshed and ready for the day.
3. The Majestic Lake District (Windermere)
Distance from Liverpool: 80 Miles (Approx. 1 Hour 30 Minutes)
If you want to swap the city for the mountains, the Lake District National Park is a must. Windermere and Bowness offer stunning lake cruises and world-class walking routes.
- The Public Transport Trap: This is a long journey by rail, often taking over 2 hours with multiple changes. It leaves you with very little time to actually see the Lakes before you have to head back.
- The Manpool Way: We offer a full Wait & Return service. Our driver will take you to the heart of the Lakes, wait while you enjoy a cruise or a hike, and be ready to take you home the moment you’re finished.
