Situated on the northeastern edge of the Wirral Peninsula, overlooking Liverpool Bay, New Brighton offers a unique seaside experience. Unlike its larger counterparts such as Blackpool, Scarborough and Whitby, this compact urban beach resort is a lesser-known Victorian gem brimming with activities.
In recent years, the town has experienced a revival, morphing into a lively centre boasting a cutting-edge all-digital cinema, refurbished theatre, and an array of cafes, bars, and eateries. This, coupled with its inherent Victorian seaside allure, has positioned New Brighton as the premier destination for coastal pursuits in the North of England, according to the study.New Brighton's beaches are a concealed treasure, offering almost unrivalled sunsets.
The town's rich history is evident at every turn. Fort Perch Rock, built as a coastal defence battery during the Napoleonic period to protect the Port of Liverpool, has played a significant role in Merseyside's history and is open for tours.
