Where Ancient history lives alongside the cutting edge.
Liverpool, England's North Country Strawberry Field

Go down to Strawberry Fields

You can find Strawberry Fields if you just look hard enough. Stroll around leafy Wavertree, a neighborhood just outside Liverpool City Centre and amble down the bohemian Lark Lane, lined with delicious eateries for lunch or dinner. Take a breather in the stunning glass Palm House at Sefton Park and finally, go down to that magical place that inspired one of the most famous songs in rock history, which is actually an old Salvation Army orphanage.

England's North Country Fountains Abbey, North Yorkshire

Experience the otherworldly side of England's North Country

What's the most haunted place in England? England's North Country is rife with spooky contenders. The ancestral home of George Washington, Washington Old Hall in the North East of England, plays host to an apparition of a lady in a long grey dress. Listen closely for the chanting of a ghostly choir at World Heritage Site Fountains Abbey near Ripon, while in nearby Haworth, you can sleuth out the ghost of Emily Bronte haunting the moors. Visitors to Chester can join our friend Tom for an illuminating tour through mysterious remains of a never-completed cathedral that seems infused with ghosts of the past. But don't overlook the Lake District for your ghostly expeditions, for Muncaster Castle is rumored to be a refuge for the ghost of Henry VI, murdered in the Tower of London. Listen to our castle-dwelling friend Peter talking about some of Muncaster's noteworthy spirits in a podcast, or read his post on reviving the ghost of Tom Fool on a special castle holiday. Pop into any of these ghost-rich centers in England's North Country for a bone-chilling reminder that there's much more to history than meets the eye.
