SOUTHPORT | Full tour of Southport Town centre and Southport pier!]
We take a walk around the beautiful holiday seaside town of Southport England to see what it has to offer. Also watch our tour of nearby Blackpool 👉🏻 • THE REAL BLACKPOOL | W...
If you are looking for things to do or things to see in Southport then hopefully this walking tour helps.
It was a lovely day in Southport when we visited.
This Merseyside seaside holiday destination is so beautiful and whether it's a weekend away or a full holiday it has so much to offer, whether it's wandering up and down Lord Street or shopping in Wayfarers Arcade, or strolling along Southport Pier.
In this video we visit Wesley Street (a very instagrammable street!) and we walk along the high street and shopping streets, past Southport Railway Station, up onto Lord Street where we head to Christ Church, Southport Town Hall, The Atkinson building and across the street to Scarisbrick Hotel.
On that section we stop off to have a chat and a cup of tea with the lovely people of Christ Church Southport - lovely people doing brilliant work and being the true heart of Southport. Please check out their website here 👉🏻 christchurchsou...
From there we head to Wayfarers Arcade for a look inside this beautiful shopping centre, before continuing along Lord Street to Nevill Street and a look at Rossi's Ice Creams, and then up past the Queen Victoria Statue and onto Southport Promenade.
We then cross Promenade and head onto Southport Pier, past Silcocks Funland, Marine Lake Cafe and Bar, and overlook Southport Marine Lake Bird Feeding Area.
As we go along Southport Pier we pass Southport Skatepark, Marine Parade, the miniature railway and Tenpin Southport.
We finish by crossing over Marine Drive and looking out to Blackpool where we can see Blackpool Tower and the Blackpool Pleasurebeach.
I find Southport a really fantastic holiday seaside town. I'll definitely be back for another walking tour soon.
Southport is a large seaside town in Merseyside, England. Southport is situated on the Sefton coast and is easy to reach from all over the North West. Close to both Liverpool and Manchester, Southport is a great coastal town to escape the hustle and bustle of a big city for a day out, short break or a 'staycation'!
Boasting the most independent eateries and restaurants outside of London, Southport is rich with its food offering. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, coffee stop or food on the go - there is always time to sample some high-quality cuisine in Southport.
Whether it is building sandcastles on the beach with the kids, or eating fish and chips on the promenade watching the sun go down. Enjoying the tranquillity of the coast wandering along the Pier or having some fun in the arcades.
Trying the exciting water sports or the thrills of a funfair, exhilarating for all of the family or a more active day riding a bike down the promenade, exploring nature reserves and enjoying some of the best walking and cycling routes.
We have 22 miles of coast for you to explore
Boasting a beautiful and expansive coastline, Southport is surrounded by natural beauty, making it a great place to escape. Starting your journey along the coast, at Crosby beach you can experience the Anthony Gormley 'Another Place' art installation, 100 iron men standing proudly looking out to sea, which at various points throughout the day can be seen in very different ways, giving you a different experience every time.
Heading to Formby beach, you climb through the natural dunes until you come to the most beautiful and expansive view of the coast before your eyes. Moving towards Southport, Ainsdale beach is a haven of things to do where you can kite surf, para cart and enjoy other beach attractions and activities - perfect for active families.
Once in Southport you can leave the town behind and head to Southport beach, build sandcastles or wander down the pier and enjoy the beautiful coastal views, we are sure you won't be disappointed!

I must admit I had my heart in my mouth when I saw this. So many horrible stories of decline in the UK especially after MY beloved town moved into the hands of Merseyside from its previous position in Lancashire I had dreamed of living there from a little girl living in Davyhulme (Manchester ) visiting my auntie Betty in Ainsdale ( interestingly most of it built by my great uncle ) I realised my dream and moved to Ainsdale, my youngest daughter being born in the Southport maternity hospital ( so the only real 'sand grounder ' in the family ) Enjoyed over 10 wonderful years before being forced (kicking and screaming) to move abroad due to Thatchers destruction of local Industry. It's 40 yrs on , and I cried watching your beautiful film. I needn't have worried..it's still beautiful. Thank you for the memories

It was nice to watch this ; I am from Southport - lived here all my life and I don't think when you live somewhere, you necessarily appreciate it. I live just outside the town centre in Birkdale and I have to admit, I tend not to go into the town centre too often due to the crowds. Not complaining at all as it is good for our town. Oh and a little fact, my family provided the pony rides on Southport beach for over 30 years. As a youngster I was summoned to help during the summer holidays. Another little fact; most people claim that whenever they visit Southport, the tide does not come in. I can assure you it does and we used to get washed off the beach with our ponies whilst the waves were crossing the coastal road. It has made me smile thinking of all the good memories. Thank you for taking the time to film our town :-)

Having been living abroad for almost 30 years I love watching these videos. It reminds me of being a kid as we went to Southport for days out and the memories are fantastic. The outdoor swimming pool, sand dunes, pier, miniature railway and so much more. I even lived there for a short time. We used to go boating on lake by the pier, and the fairground was awesome. I always said Southport is the North West's hidden gem, and i mean it. It truly is amazing.

People from Southport. Lee Mack Miranda Richardson (Queenie in Blackadder) Marc Almond from Soft Cell Marcus Waring, chef and Masterchef judge. Tommy Fleetwood, golfer. Trainer Ginger McCain had stables behind his car showroom in nearby Birkdale. Ginger being famous for training Red Rum. Lee Mack was a stable lad for Ginger and Red Rum. Red Rum would train on Southport beach. Southport has its own Airshow over two days (July 9th + 10th this year) Has the largest independent flower show in the country. There is also a comedy festival. There's a multi-million pound plan to develop a new theatre complex in town, also Chapel Street is up for a refurbishment. There's plenty of places to shop in Southport. Not just Chapel Street, unlike many towns, it isn't all on one high street. Hillside, just up the road is home to both Hillside and Royal Birkdale golf clubs. Southport Pier was built by James Brunlees, who also built Southend Pier. Southport is well served by buses, three routes to Liverpool, buses to Wigan, Preston, Ormskirk. Merseyrail is a train every 15 minutes from Liverpool and Hunts Cross, including on summer Sundays. Northern run two trains an hour to Wigan and Manchester. The line to Southport (Merseyrail Northern Line) was one of the first to be electrified in the country back in 1903.

I loved watching this as I grew up in Southport from the age of 10 to 18. In 1983 I left school and between school and going to college I worked at Rossi’s ice cream parlour, 40 years ago 😱 Back then it was proper home made Italian ice cream made on the premises upstairs, it used to come down in a little lift at the back of the shop in large metal containers. It was the best ice cream you’ve ever tasted and people would come from all over to get some. There was one flavour vanilla unless you had whippy ice cream, which was the same delicious quality which came in plain vanilla or strawberry and vanilla known as pink and white. I can tell you this is not the case now, they are using the Rossi name but that is the ONLY thing the same. Southport was a great place to grow up.

We come to Southport nearly every week. We go to a little cafe in Wesley Street also another on Lord Street (which has just changed ownership) and the tea rooms in Kings Gardens when it’s nice enough to sit outside. We love a walk along the prom or down the pier and around the lakes. Such a beautiful place but have to admit never been to the lawn mower museum, perhaps investigate this next time we visit 😊

My last trip was a couple of years ago and I see things have changed somewhat but your Video shows Southport as we have always known it - 'Sunny Southport'. The Video Quality is superb and your tour was comprehensive and professional. Hope if you are in the Caribbean, you include us in your world video tour. Well Done !

I have seen your walks round Scarborough which We also enjoyed watching especially the Harbour. Look forward to your next walk

You might even see Elvis performing if you’re lucky It’s how I imagine Blackpool used to be years ago before the clubs and pubs full of hen parties! Best seaside town in north west imo

The Wayfairers Aycade is so stunning, a few years ago it was bustling every shop taken and a lovely furniture shop called the Wayfairers. My late husband visited a very good book shop upstairs, they have ow moved to my city Liverpool. Thank you for sharing. Barbara from Liverpool.

There was no 'playing on the beach' because it used to be full of an oil spill. 31:06 Over there was a charbanc company which offered 'Mystery Tour', Granma liked to take me on those trips to some country place with a tea shop. 3:16 That 'thing' on left (which you avoided) WAS a beautiful old hotel 'Victoria Hotel' demolished 1971.

After some time following you around our favourite South West resorts I now find you have been following me! being your two recent posts of Lytham St Annes and Southport. I have lived in Southport for some 25+years now but grew up in Lytham St Annes from the age of 7 and again lived there for some 25+years and only recently sold my late mothers flat there. My favourite will always be Lytham St Annes though, but you missed half of the job…. Lytham. Lytham St Annes is two towns, St.Annes on Sea and Lytham but as a borough it is name-wise merged into Lytham St Annes, (LSA). Unless you did Lytham in another video we didn’t see any of Lytham this time. The Windmill at Lytham is a great landmark and Lytham green and the town centre is gorgeous with the flowers and restaurants, and free parking in the town. A little anecdote to start you off on the Windmill if you do come back. Built in the early 1800’s on what is now Lytham Green, in later years the posh houses being built opposite it claimed it should be taken down as it was an industrial blot on the landscape. How times change and it is my favourite view when driving “home” to LSA. Back to Southport and again great to “follow” a “non residents” view of what I see and live in every day, fascinating and well done. It is also famous for its Air and Flower shows which bring in substantial numbers of tourists. The Food festival is also a big attraction. Can’t forget to mention the backing music. Really good. Keep up the good work!

Regarding the Pier. When it was built the sea came right up to just below the entrance ! The land has all been reclaimed over time. It was built to accept steam boats that would tour around the coast of Britain. The land naturally falls away very shallow hence its length in order at high tide to accommodate the steam boats

I live in Southport. Many years ago I was discussing Southport with the Sefton Police Area commander. He described it as "Sh1t" (some run down deprived streets) / "Shoreline" (drunken holiday makers) & "Chandeliers" (posh bits whose occupants all play golf at Royal Birkdale). If anyone asks me what Southtport is like I use the same description, it is still true.

My brother and wife live in Southpott, and he told me that the land out towards the sea over the past 20 years has risen hence the reason for the long way to the beach. Up north Southport it's good for birdwatching as is Martynsmere.

What a shame nearly all the shops in the Wayfarers arcade are closed. I’m sure it would make sense to drop the rents and encourage more independent shops in there. There used to be a lovely book shop in there.

Brings back memories of my childhood. My grandparents lived in Formby and we were there every month. Always went to the arcade since there was a toy shop. Looks almost the same from 45 years ago apart from empty shops. There used to be an indoor fountain and model train running round. Honstly brought back so many memories, thankyou mate.

I was brought up in Southport, living on Lord St above a florist shop my parents owned. My husband and I moved south in 1966, but we returned many a time to visit family still there. I haven’t been back in years now due to age. Thank you so much for your tour, I’ve enjoyed it immensely. Much has changed but then much is how it was in a way. I shall send a link to my sister who still lives in the area, she’ll enjoy it too. Thank you again.
