Williamson Tunnels Heritage Centre Tours

A 45 minute guided tour through part of the unique labyrinth of tunnels beneath Edge Hill created by 19th Century philanthropist Joseph Williamson.

The Willamson Tunnels Visitor Centre provides an insight into this fascinating underground world. Visitors will be guided through the network of tunnels and view the exhibitions which depict the life and times of one of Liverpool's most eccentric characters.

Road Directions

From M62
Follow the motorway into Liverpool to the motorway end. Then continue straight on, following brown heritage signs for Town Centre/Pier Head attractions and Cathedrals, through Wavertree Retail estate, passing the Botanical Gardens on your left. When the brown signs diverge, follow signs for Cathedrals to the left. Keep to the right hand lane as you bend round past the church, then get into the left hand side past the Bears Paw Public House, and turning to the left just past Archbishop Blanch School. Do not then follow the road as it bends to the right in front of the school, but go straight on into the minor road continuation ahead. This is Smithdown Lane. Continue until you see a large Police Station on the right. The Heritage Centre is on the left just after that.
