What a beautiful and enchanting place to visit. We stumbled across it by accident and decided to take a look around. We were met by one of the most enthusiastic tour guides who explained so much about the place and delved into its history. The view from the tower is outstanding. Right across Liverpool. Well worth a visit.
Excellent visit to the priory. It's free to visit and there is a free tour of the site which we went on. Frank the tour guide was fantastic and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. Walked up St Mary's tower approx 100 steps but the view of Liverpool is worth it. Can highly recommendVisited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo

What an amazing adventure to see Birkenhead Priory. Have been meaning to visit for ages and so glad we finally did! Our tour guide Angela and team were amazing and very knowledgeable giving a great overview of the Priory and what life would have been like. Definitely worth a visit Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
Cant believe we haven't been here before - had no idea it existed until a couple of weeks ago. Touched lucky as we were the only visitors so we got to have the lovely tour guide all to ourselves. Was far too cold to spend as long as we wanted there but will be back for a second look soon. If you are visiting check the times of the tours. Oh and its all free and dog friendly.
Nice and quiet place to visit, small but well worth the be visit. The tower is breathtaking both in climbing up, and the view, but not for people with fear of heightdVisited onWeekdayWait timeNo wait

Historical site of a Benedictine monastery from the 1150s!, one of oldest standing buildings in Merseyside. In the 1800s and 1900s it served as St. Mary’s parish church of Birkenhead. Today, only its tower and west wall survive. Explanatory panels in the small museum space. Good views from the top of the tower. Donation box at the entrance.
A piece of local history the priory is the oldest building in Merseyside. A local gem which is always worth a visit. there are remains of the priory, remains of a church with a tower and a chapter house to see during your visit. Going up the tower you can get some great views of the Liverpool waterfront and surrounding area. There site is dog friendly and there are toilet facilities as well.
Hidden in plain sight Gem!.. Spent forty five minutes there could of easily spent longer, very interesting place with great views! Nice spot for little picnic with the family..
