Speke Hall Drive doesnt exist...Just to put things right...I would also say that the walk ,from Speke Road/Boulevard & Speke Hall Road, is a long walk..

A taxi from the city centre, one way would be about £15.

 

Yes , Speke Hall is a great place to visit, not visited enough in my book , being a local resident to the hall, I get free admission...

 

Speke Hall is about the furthest out, in Liverpool , that I would suggest an independant day traveler would venture...Just because of it being where it is, a bit isolated, and the public transport not being great...

 

On an other point, those brave enough to go it alone, rather than go with an organised trip off the cruise, Liverpool is the place to do it...

I would combine a trip to Speke Hall with the following..

Penny Lane...Mendips....Forthlin Road...Strawberry Fields....St Peters Church Woolton....All the above are easily excessable by public transport..

TC and Tilly,

Thank you for all your wonderful instructions and advice. We are looking forward to our day in Liverpool. We will be there the day of the triathalon. Will we still be able to take the bus out to Speke Hall?

Thanks,

Lisa

The easiest way of getting to speke Hall is by firstly getting to Liverpool South Parkway Station...This can be done via Lime St Mainline Station , or the Northen Line Mersey Rail (underground) or by bus 80/80a/86/86a.

From there get the bus 84, direct to the hall.

Dont forget your saveaway tickets...will save you money !!

Thank you for this info, too. You have both been very, very helpful.

I think you will love Speke Hall and the river cruise is a blast, especially if you get it for free! Can you post this info on your individual cruise thread please so that everyone gets to know about it. :)

I will definitely do this. Thanks again!!

Towncar T,

Thank you for the info for Speke Hall. That is so helpful!! The ferry tour sounds wonderful, too. We will definitely give that a whirl.

Towncar T,

I have enjoyed reading your helpful posts. I have a question...would you be able to give directions for getting to Speke Hall via bus? I don't really understand the directions on the National Trust site for Speke Hall. We are traveling on the Crown Princess in June.

Thanks,

Lisa
