About
Birkenhead Priory is a unique family outing – experience the history, wonder and beauty of this 870 year old site. As the oldest standing building on Merseyside, the Priory offers a unique insight into the town of Birkenhead, and its historical and spiritual importance in the North West. Now surrounded by factory units and shipyards, the Priory is an oasis of calm in a busy world. Come and explore the site with the whole family. Climb the 101 steps to the top of St Mary's tower for spectacular views of the Mersey & local area. You can even bring a picnic to enjoy in our grounds! The Chapter House is consecrated as a Church of England chapel.
