Churches and Cathedrals in Higher Whitley

"Whether you love the architecture, the medieval and modern history or just learning about the community and culture, Chester cathedral is a great place to visit."

"The May Blitz of 1941 saw St Luke’s church forever changed when a bomb landed right on top of it’s roof. Over time, the city has lovingly restored it back to life and it now plays host to everything from weddings, to gigs, to farmers markets and cinema screenings. The church itself and the gardens around it are a total treat for the eye."

"St Luke’s Church, or the Bombed Out Church to the locals, sits proudly at the top of Bold Street and is a great spot for a photograph, especially if you get to head inside. Known as the Bombed Out Church because it no longer has a roof, it makes for an interesting photo for the collection. View this post on Instagram"

"Also known as St. Luke’s Church, the Bombed-Out Church lost its roof during the World War II blitz and has now been transformed into a wedding venue, café and a great spot for pictures. The church is incredible to look around and is also filled with so much history."

"Warrington’s parish church is an atmospheric sandstone building with a spire 86 metres high. This is the eighth highest spire in the country, and the fifth highest among parish churches. Most of St Elphin’s dates from a restoration that took place in the 1860s, but there are fragments of earlier buildings."

"This little North West city is packed full of unique buildings, and Church bar is one that really stands out from the crowd. As the name suggests this bar is housed in a converted chapel and still has original features like a church organ and stained-glass windows. The front of the bar provides a long outdoor space that is one of the best beer gardens in Chester."

"The Church is housed within a beautifully converted former church and retains much of its original charm. The venue features a charming Gallery Restaurant, a breezy terrace and bellini bar."

"This 13th-century church about a mile north of Macclesfield is the fourth church on this site. But what’s unusual is that the third church is still here, out among Medieval yew trees. There’s a Norman Romanesque chapel in the churchyard, dating to the 12th century, with semi-circular door and window arches and weathered but visible tympanum relief and lozenge patterns in the archivolts."

"Home to the Ginsmiths of Liverpool, head down to Love Lane Brewery in the Baltic Triangle to sample some of the finest gin around. Choose from a Dry Gin, Merchant Navy Gin, Marshmallow Gin or a range of cocktails in the huge venue. They also do distillery tours so you can see how the gin gets made in house!"

"If you care about craft beer, you care about the process of it being made. Love Lane Brewery is a Liverpool bar that lets you enjoy your drink right in the heart of it all with an on-site brewery and kitchen. With delicious meals and an open layout, there's nothing to close you off to this awesome spot."

"Sudley House is a stunning 19th century Victorian house in the Mossley Hill area of Liverpool. The free-to-enter gallery and museum features a wonderful collection of Victorian period furniture and exquisite paintings, including some by Turner and Rossetti."

"Sudley House is a well preserved Victorian merchant house located just south of Liverpool city centre. With a unique collection of artwork, this house has been lovingly restored and is now dedicated to the people who lived there."

"Macclesfield is in the orbit of the Jodrell Bank Observatory, founded in 1945 and part of the University of Manchester. The primary telescope at Jodrell Bank is the colossal Lovell Telescope, built in 1957 and still the third largest steerable dish radio telescope in the world, at 76.2 metres in diameter. Amateur astronomers come a long way to savour this immense structure, which along with the rest of the station has been mooted for World Heritage Status."

"This cosy restaurant is a slightly higher priced offering but you know you get the quality. This reviewer tried the half lobster with Spaghetti Alla Chitarra for a delightful dish reminiscent of the Azzuro region of Italy. View the menu at ItalianClub.com"

"A family-run restaurant, The Italian Club Fish merges Mediterranean seafood with traditional British fish and chips. With a focus on fresh produce, the menu pays homage to the family's Italian heritage, and places a wealth of Italian seafood…"

"Then Moules a Go-Go is a must-visit while you’re in this little historic city. This restaurant is home to the best mussels in town, with a bunch of Mussel Pots to compliment the flavour of the favourable shellfish. They also offer a generous lunch menu if you’re stomach is grumbling through the day, and the location is perfect for a pitstop."

"07/06/2021: My wife and I ate here for lunch on Sunday 6th June and we had a super experience. Oysters from Anglesey and mussels from Scotland. All the dishes were well prepared and presented."
