Description

Film promoting tourism in and around Liverpool. Some of the region's museums and art galleries are visited, including the Lady Lever Art Gallery and the Merseyside Maritime Museum. After a trip to Knowsley Safari Park, the film looks at some of Merseyside's sporting and leisure activities, including football at Anfield, golf at the Royal Liverpool and racing at Aintree. Moving further afield, the film visits Southport, the Wirral, Chester, North Wales and the Lakes, before returning to Liverpool to look at the nightlife in the city, with people dancing in a nightclub and and locals drinking in the English pub, The Nook, in Chinatown.
