Royal Albert Dock Free Tour

Description

We'll begin this free tour of the Royal Albert Dock at Derby Square. From here, we'll walk to the Royal Albert Dock, which was crucial during World War II for the supply and transport of troops and supplies, with visible scars from that era.

Next, we will visit the Customs House and explore its history from the first Wet Dock to its current state. The buildings along the harbor, including commercial warehouses and customs offices, highlight Liverpool's development as a commercial and port center.

We will then proceed to Pier Head, a significant site for maritime trade and key events in the city's history. During the tour, we will see prominent landmarks such as the Liver Building, Cunard Building, and Port of Liverpool Building. These structures are part of the Three Graces of Liverpool.

Finally, we will arrive at Mann Island, where we can enjoy views of the Mersey River and discuss George's Dock, which laid the foundation for Liverpool's maritime history and was vital for commercial transactions. This 2-hour tour concludes our exploration of the Royal Albert Dock. See you soon!
