Why Visiting Mendips and 20 Forthlin Road is Something Every Beatles Fan Should Do
Liverpool is known all over the world as the birthplace of The Beatles. (And #scousebrow. Look it up.) Obviously, a large portion of the city's visitors are there to see what The Beatles saw in their formative days.
And there's a lot left to see, although most of it has been prettied up, such as the Albert Docks, which houses a Beatles visitor center, and The Cavern Club, where the band played in its early years. (The Cavern Club actually had to close down in the 1980s, but it was rebuilt using a lot of the original bricks.)
Of course, Beatles-themed tours are plentiful, ranging from the Magical Mystery Tour (a two-hour sightseeing bus tour) to the The Beatles Fab Four Taxi Tour (a private taxi tour.) But only one tour can get you inside the childhood homes of John Lennon and Paul McCartney.
The National Trust operates tours inside Mendips, Lennon's home, and 20 Forthlin Road, Paul McCartney's home. Other tours can only look at the homes from the street. If you're a die-hard Beatles fan, you don't want to be standing on the street watching someone else go into your idol's home — so do book this tour if that's important to you.
