Though the tumult of shipping which once fought the current here has gone, the Pier Head landing stage remains the embarkation point for the Mersey Ferries to Woodside (for Birkenhead) and Seacombe (Wallasey). Ride one if only for the magnificent views of the Liverpool skyline and the prominent, 322-feet high Royal Liver Building (free tours April-Sept by appointment only; call 0151/236 2748) - it's topped by the "Liver Birds", a couple of cormorants which have become the symbol of the city. Straightforward ferry shuttles operate every thirty minutes during morning and evening rush hours (GBP1.10 each way); at other times the boats run circular "heritage" cruises (hourly: Mon-Fri 10am-3pm, Sat & Sun 10am-6pm; GBP3.75; tel 0151/330 1444), complete with sappy commentary and repeated renditions of Gerry Marsden's Ferry 'cross the Mersey .
