Kaylif Aramis ridden by Sam Twiston-Davies Liverpool has been named the third city in the world to visit in 2014.
Liverpool's culture renaissance and revitalised Baltic Triangle area were selected as highlights by travel bible Rough Guide when they named the city in the top three to visit this year.

Annual features, meanwhile, include the Chinese New Year, Light Night, Africa Oye, the Grand National at Aintree and the Merseyside derby.
Talking about the city, Rough Guide said: "What began with the gradual redevelopment of the Albert Dock area has evolved into a full-blown cultural renaissance.
"Liverpool, once named the world’s pop music capital, has rediscovered its mojo. And guess what? It’s setting trends again. Visit in 2014 to experience the Liverpool Biennial, a ten-week-long contemporary arts festival over the summer that sees the city filled with works from around the world.

Welcome to my blog page, I own Barford House holiday apartments in Southport with my Husband Kevin. We bought the business on the 1st April 2008 and from day one we have taken it on a long journey, every apartment has undergone refurbishment, the house looks great! We offer five holiday apartments in all - two of which are ground floor apartments. All are self contained and furnished to a high standard. Whether you want to stay for a week or a weekend give us a call and we will try our best to accommodate you. We offer discounts for OAP's, we welcome Families, Conference delegates, Golfers and overseas visitors. We do not take hen and stag parties sorry. Barford has many regulars who return two and three times a year this speaks volumes to us. My passion is gardening as you can see from the photos of Barfords gardens. I attended an RHS gardening course for 18 months and passed with a distinction. I have entered the gardens into Sefton In Bloom, North West In Bloom for the last three years and the Southport Flower show winning each one. I was awarded Best In Show 2013 & 2014.
