The ruins of the old St Mary's Church have an austere beauty. Sitting next to Camel Lairds shipyard, also a shadow of its former self, it has a melancholy charm similar to Coventry Cathedral.

It's amazing that this building is still here. One of the oldest buildings in the country I should imagine and surrounded by a hard industrial ship building landscape - Cammel Lairds. Hidden gem you should visit it.
The oldest building on wirral (12th century) with its own little museum is a lovely place to go and have a picnic and just explore. They also have events here - always nice to see the vikings back.
Very intersting place if you like local history, you go back in time, lovelly building.
just an average day out, which went very quickly, could be interesting for a childrens historic tour
the priory stands next to a shipyard in the middle of an industrial park if you did not know it was there,you would have difficulty finding it. as dr johnson said about the giants causeway "worth seeing,but not worth going to see ".
the birkenhead priory is so full of local history yet you could ask 100 people in liverpool about it and i doubt if 95 had even heard of it
the views from the tower are enviable, on a clear day you can see for miles and right next
is the ancient dock where the boat was built for the american...

birkenhead priory is tucked away near camel lairds on an industrial site but its a little gem it was from here that the monks first started there ferry service across the Mersey in the 12th century there's no entrance fee but its closed on Mondays and Tuesdays there's an exhibition center there but the best bit is the priory itself...
