Bidston Observatory Artistic Research Centre — Attraction in Wirral

This place will really take you by surprise! I and a few friends took a history/heritage tour a little earlier in the year, and the sheer amount of unexpected stories that this place had to tell was epic! I don't even want to spoil them for you - see if you can go on a tour for yourself!

Visiting also means you get to explore Bidston Hill itself, which also has an old lighthouse right next door (which is now a brilliant little book shop and mini museum), a windmill, the Tam O'Shanter Urban Farm, and all of the nature trails on the hill itself. There are even some ancient carvings dotted...

I use Bidston Hill for running. Pass the observatory all the time. I believe it has open days monthly and so does the windmill which is a short walk away and there's parking by Tom a shanter farm which is great for the children. Can check friends of Bidston Hill website for more...

The building is interesting from a historical POV, but it isn't open to the public generally, but it is on the Bidston Hil heritage trail which is a nice countryside walk within an Urban environment, check out the Friends of Bidston Hill website for more...
