                <description><![CDATA[An amazing bar and restaurant off Duke Street in Liverpool city centre, it's a former Victorian jail which makes for a very unusual setting to eat. <br><br>Despite its former use, the venue is incredibly stylish and cosy and you can still eat in the cells as well as in an elegant dining area upstairs where's there's also a champagne lounge. Food is fab and service is very good. Also very reasonably priced especially with the set meal on a weekday.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[This is a great cafe on Rodney Street in central Liverpool, not far from Liverpool Lime Street.  They serve a wide range of food; from light lunches to amazing cakes.  <br><br>I recommend it for convenience, price, atmosphere and generally being a really nice place to hang out for the day.  <br><br>They have great fresh coffee, the beans are apparently imported from Portugal.  After an hour drinking coffee and some delicious 'chocolate salami' we decided to have lunch. The menu had a fantastic selection, all at incredibly reasonable prices, including some Portuguese dishes as well as the old favourites like salads, sandwiches and paninis. I wanted something light so went for the roast vegetable bruschetta, my friend went for the cod fishcakes. Both were excellent and cost around £4.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[S1 bus tours the main areas of the city, the waterfront (Pier Head/Albert Dock/King's Arena), the two cathedrals, the university and links up with the main transport centres in the city. <br><br>Buy an Arriva Day Ticket (£3 at present) on the bus and you can hop on and off at the places you really like and you can then use your ticket on any other of the Arriva services around the city. A Saveaway ticket bought from numerous outlets can be used at off-peak times.]]></description>

Very friendly staff, freshly cooked everything and all very cheap! If you are lucky you may even meet their resident harpist.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[A seaside town a train ride from the city centre. Very old fashioned, donkeys, bouncy castle, ice creams, chips from The Marigold Cafe before coming home.<br><br>Take a picnic, enjoy sand, windsurfers and, on a good day, jaw-droppingly lovely views of the Welsh coast and Hilbre Island. Only walk to the island if you know what you're doing as the tide comes in fast, often behind you, and it is easy to get stuck!]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Parkgate is either part of Neston, or just next to it.  Nice to walk along the front there, even if there is a chill wind. A couple of nice pubs down there, chippies, too, great bird life (and a brass plaque with info on birdies and the view over to Wales), as well as delicious home-made ice cream from Nichols.  Can't miss it - nearly always a queue there.]]></description>
