While you're in the North West, why not travel locally outside St Helens and see a few places.
Liverpool - via train, go to St Helens Central station, and catch the train to Liverpool Lime Street. 12 miles.
Formby - fantastic beach, sand dunes and pine woods. See the National Trust website for more info.
Blackpool - home to Pleasure Beach theme park, Blackpool tower, and a fantastic light display for half the year, Blackpool is a great beside-the-sea city.
