Taking the train from the Wirral to Southport is slightly more than an hours ride, transferring once in Liverpool. The train station is conveniently located in the heart of Southport and just a few blocks from the Southport Pier.
Lord Street, Southport, England
When we reached Lord Street we browsed through a few shops and had a cup of coffee in one of the many little cafes on this attractive main thoroughfare. Then we headed on down to the Southport Pier – show me the water! Coming from a city that is nowhere near a large body of water the sea breeze and salty air seems to attract me more than anything else.
As we get ready to head down the half-mile pier you can see Marine Drive under the bridge, which follows the seashore. There is a large shopping complex not far from the pier.
Wonderful photos of your trip to Southport. Amazing !
This looks like a great city…I love armchair travel, almost as much as I would being there myself. I spent some time scrolling around your blog and enjoyed it all… thanks for sharing. I learned a lot too!
thank you! I still have about five more blogs showing all the places I visited in England and Wales – and a return visit to Perth, Scotland.
I have always loved the water…the ocean, lakes, rivers…even fountains! Your photos are spectacular and I really appreciate you sharing them.
