"When you visit Liverpool, it’s basically a mandatory stop that you head down to the waterfront to explore the Royal Albert Dock. The Dock is a true hub in Liverpool that dates back quite a ways. This historic dockland was first opened in 1846 and was one of the first in Britain to be built of cast iron, brick, and stone – and not wood."

"The Albert Dock is without a doubt one of the most iconic areas of our city. From The Tate art gallery, to its many bars and restaurants, to the Beatles museum – you’re spoilt for choice when it comes to sights to get a shot of. Personally, we think it’s prettiest at dusk when you’re likely to catch a scenic sunset."

"Just outside the city walls, in close proximity to the Chester Roman Amphitheatre and the Newgate is the Roman Gardens, built in 1949 by Graham Webster and Charles Greenwood with a view to exhibit the structure’s remains from the Roman Legionary Citadel of Deva, which include portions of some of the most significant military buildings, the headquarters, the main baths and general relics from the city. Most of the fragments that are now on display were discovered at the end of the 19th century. The daunting pillars were extracted from the Roman Bathhouse’s exercise hall and stood tall at 6ft initially in support of the stonework."

"Bounded to the west by the city walls, the Chester Roman Gardens were plotted by the curator of the Grosvenor Museum, Graham Webster in 1949. The park was laid out in the run up to the 1951 Festival of Britain and has ancient architectural fragments found during the 19th-century excavations of Deva’s baths and military buildings like the Principia. There’s a row of columns from the exercise hall in the main bathhouse, once almost two metres high."

"The Roman Gardens are close to the River Dee and are a collection of Roman period remains collected and assembled here from around the city. Chester’s City Wall runs down one side of the gardens. Visitors can enjoy various Roman pillars, capitals and columns, a reconstructed hypocaust (under floor heating system) from the legionary baths and a modern mosaic."

"If you're planning on incorporating a spot of shopping into your time in the city, Liverpool ONE, which has rapidly established itself as one of Europe's most popular retail destinations, is the obvious choice.
