Things to do in Liverpool for Wheelchair Users
The Mersey Ferry
No trip to Liverpool would be complete without a trip on the World-Famous Mersey Ferry. There is no better way to see the fabulous Liverpool skyline than a cruise along the river.
The main deck of the Ferry is accessible to wheelchairs and has an accessible toilet, as do the ferry terminals. Staff can assist people with poor mobility in getting on and off the Ferry.
Access: Accessibility Onboard and at the Ferry Terminals
The Pier Head
Once the beating heart of Liverpool, the Pier Head is part of the UNESCO world heritage site and is the gateway to everything Liverpool has to offer.
Bask in the sunshine against a backdrop of the Three Graces, or get involved in one of the many festivals, markets and events now staged at the Pier Head.
Access: The terrain is mainly flat, with some well-laid cobbles. Accessible toilet in ferry terminal building.
Royal Albert Dock
Albert Dock was the catalyst for the regeneration of Liverpool. A destination in its own right, the Albert Dock is home to museums, galleries, cafes, bars and shops.
As a listed building, there are cobbles around the dock, and you can avoid them as there are paving slabs down the middle of the walkway.
