Tour details
Guided tours, organised by National Museums Liverpool, start by the large anchor outside the Maritime Museum* and visitors walk to the nearby Old Dock. On the tour visitors are taken back in time as they see a large portion of the Old Dock rising more than 20 feet from the bed of the Pool - the creek that gave Liverpool its name. A modern bridge and walkways give grandstand views.
