Liverpool Anglican Cathedral is the largest Anglican Cathedral in Britain and the fifth largest in the world. As you’d expect, it’s breathtakingly scenic from the inside and outside, but to enjoy a bird’s eye view of the city head straight to the top of the 331ft tower. Admire the pretty Georgian Streets, the UNESCO World Heritage Sites, St George’s Hall and a number of other city landmarks from the top.

The remains of Scarborough Castle dominate the streets of the Old Town. Before the castle was built, this natural fortress was favoured by prehistoric settlers before serving as a Roman signal station and Viking haven. Today you can climb to the battlement viewing platforms for dramatic coastline views and enjoy tea in the 18th century Master Gunner’s House whilst taking in the scenery.
