2 Cathedrals in Liverpool

Liverpool is home to two massive cathedrals that couldn’t be more different from each other. They sit at opposite ends of Hope Street, which is a lovely stretch in Merseyside perfect for a stroll between the two.

Liverpool Cathedral (Anglican) This is the “big one” on St James Mount. It’s the largest cathedral in the UK and, honestly, the scale of it is mind-blowing even if you aren’t into architecture.

Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ the King (Catholic) Locally known as the “Paddy’s Wigwam” due to its unique conical shape, this is a total contrast to its traditional neighbor.
