Standing proudly on the banks of the River Mersey is the region's oldest standing building.
Dubbed a "hidden gem" by many of the visitors who pass through it, Birkenhead Priory first opened its doors more than 870 years ago. The Priory itself is classed as a Scheduled Ancient Monument, with the neighbouring St Mary's tower ranked as a grade II listed building.
Caroline Fitzpatrick, who works at the Priory, told the ECHO: “From St Mary's tower, you get the best views of Liverpool. It’s fabulous at all times of the year. It really is a priory for all seasons because, in the summer, there are amazing views of the city and the ferries going up and down the river.
