The Cathedral Tower Experience

Welcome > Plan your visit > The Cathedral Tower Experience

Experience amazing views of the city and beyond by reaching the top of the UK’s highest Cathedral. While you spot the city’s famous landmarks you can also view the world’s heaviest peal of bells!


Why not do your sightseeing from above?

Liverpool Cathedral tower allows you to see all of Liverpool’s great buildings as you take in a breathtaking 360˚ view from the rooftop of the highest cathedral in the UK – 152m (500ft) above sea level. On a good clear day, you will see Blackpool Tower!

The massive Vestey Tower, named after its benefactors the Vestey family, has a floor to top height of 101m (331ft).

You don’t want to miss out on this experience.

Find out more about our Cathedral Bells here

(To keep you safe, it is not possible to allow visitors into the Tower when our bells are being rung.)
 

Can’t get to the top, or just curious what’s out there?

Get an excellent taste of the views on offer before you ascend to the top by watching the large TV screen at the entrance to the tower on the Ground Floor, or, if you cannot negotiate lifts or stairs then feel free to browse the views using our unique camera facility.

You can sweep around to view the River with its famous landmark waterfront of the ‘Three Graces’, including the Royal Liver Building and a little further along the Docklands, the Albert Dock as well as out across the city itself catching many of its amazing buildings and in particular our sister cathedral, the Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ the King.

To reach the top of the Tower, you’ll take two lifts and walk up 108 stairs. Please note: if you have asthma, other chest conditions, heart problems, or are pregnant, please think carefully before deciding whether to climb such a large number of stairs.

There are no external views of the city available at the intermediary levels.
