The Top Things To Do And See In Everton Liverpool

Located just north of Liverpool’s city center, the district of Everton is one of the city’s truly undiscovered gems. Originally the home of Beatles member Paul McCartney, and a hotspot for urban legends, this district’s colorful past can still be felt by those who venture into its streets today. Here’s a list of the top things to do and see in Everton, Liverpool.

1. Everton Park

Park

Created in the early 1980s on Everton Hill, Everton Park is large green space in the heart of the neighborhood that is the ideal place to spend a warm afternoon. Visits to the Nature Garden are available on Thursday and Friday mornings, but there are plenty of other activities to keep even the most energetic kids entertained. Check out the multiple playgrounds, the heritage walking trail, fitness equipment and Action Sports Hub for skateboards and scooters.

Everton Water Tower

Located on Margaret Street in the heart of Everton, the Everton Water Tower was first opened in 1864. While mainly surrounded by modern housing, the water tower stands out as a stunning example of Victorian brick masonry work, designed by Liverpool’s first water engineer, Thomas Duncan. The water tower can be seen from most of Liverpool, as it stands high on Everton brow but an up-close visit is what truly reveals the splendor of this essential district landmark.

St. George’s Church

Consecrated in 1814, St. George’s Church is the oldest of three churches in Liverpool constructed by ironmaster John Cragg. Designated as a Grade I listed building on the National Heritage List for England, the church’s original charm is largely still intact. Besides the inherent uniqueness of the cast-iron and brick structure, there is a stained glass window by A. Gibbs from 1863 that was the only one to survive WWII. Keep in mind that the church still performs weekly masses, but a visit to take in the early 19th century architecture is definitely worth it.
