mendips - john lennon home

国家信任机构组织的游览约翰列侬和保罗·麦卡特尼的家,佛特林20号,是唯一可以进入两座房子的旅行。这次旅行乘坐小型巴士,一路上放着披头士的音乐,非常喜欢便士小巷,经过便士小巷的时候正好播放。第一站是门第普斯,房子的看管人热情地欢迎你,向你讲述约翰的童年。这栋房子很棒,给人一种舒适的感觉。我们从后门进的,这是对所有游客的传统,室内的装潢是五十年代末期的风格,还有一间屋子放满了披头士纪念品。我们花了很长时间在这栋房子里参观,在外面照了相(里面不允许照相)。然后小型巴士把我们送到保罗·麦卡特尼的房子,看管人热情的接待我们,告诉我们很多关于保罗和他的家人的故事。房子里面有很多原来的照片,是保罗的弟弟麦克照的,墙上还有一枚纪念章,是保罗和麦克为父母设计的。这次旅行组织的很好,可以通过国家信任网站购票,如果是国家信任的会员的话还有折扣。两栋房子的看管人都很好,对于披头士很了解而且很喜欢他们的工作。

如果你到了利物浦,而且喜欢披头士的话,你会发现这里有很多跟披头士相关的旅行团。我参加的是由国家信托赞助的Magical Mystery旅行团。如果你没有时间参加别的旅行团,那这个一定不容错过,以下是原因:1.这是唯一能进到屋里的旅行团-其它旅行团的游客都不能进屋里。2.屋子经过重新建造(因为在Macca一家人和John Lennon之后,还有其他人在这里住过),不过尽量都维护旧貌。并不是所有家具都是当时的,但这并不是个缺点。非常地道,让人能一窥当时(上世纪50年代)的生活场景。3.导游非常称职,而且故事说得很有趣。也须有些游客已经听过了,但是我并不知道(尽管我是披头士的铁杆粉丝)披头士之前的所有故事。网站是:http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/beatles-childhood-homes/ 自己上网看看吧!

我们经过国民托管组织的允许可以进到约翰列侬的住处餐馆。黑油意思。许多东西都不是原始的,但是很多都是他生活时期的。我们很喜欢这里,推荐。

利用国民托管组织预定的。两个小时的旅游,包括曼蒂普斯(Mendips)和Fourthlin路,每人20镑。真的把甲壳虫乐队的早期情况带到我们的生活中来,多亏了知道这么多又热情的导游。真的很好,很感动,能跟来自全世界的甲壳虫发烧友小团体分享这次经历。

我们下午的时候去参观了曼蒂普斯。我们在外面等着进去的时候,着实激动了一番,因为我们注意到小野洋子—— 她在利物浦参加列侬公车组织的活动——也是参观者之一!这件事让我们的参观变得非常特别!

The trip to John Lennons childhood home was fab! The national trust guide was great and provided good information which gave visitors a good insight in Johns childhood. To see his school reports and childhood drawings was amazing. When travelling to the house on national trust bus the driver pointed out childhood play areas of John.

The Mendips home ( owned by the national trust and now supported and commandeered by Yoko, of course) is quite beautiful, with floral stained glass windows and a lovely cream colored paint overall. A nice setting on a pretty street, as well. You must book a visit through the trust, however, so only the facade can be viewed on the various tours. But I was surprised how close John and Paul's homes were - just across an expanse of golf course. And how much the middle class/working class divide still mattered 55 years ago. We saw where John's mother Julie was struck by the car, nearly right in front of the house.

I'm lucky enough to be an American-born Beatles fan who now lives in the Merseyside area, so I've done this tour a number of times. I highly recommend this tour for Beatles and John Lennon fans. The custodian is a Beatles fan and is enthusiastic and informative. The home has been restored to how the home would have been when John lived there with his Aunt Mimi. If you a are a Beatles fan, I would highly recommend taking the tour of John Lennon's former home Mendips and Paul McCartney's former home on 20 Forthlin Road. Both residences are now owned and maintained by the National Trust. You'll hear plenty of Beatles anecdotes as well as anecdotes about John and his Aunt Mimi. If you're a Beatles fan in Liverpool and only here for a short time, I highly recommend you include the National Trust tour of these two Beatles' homes in your sightseeing.

The house was on my bucket list for a long time and did not disappoint with evoking a poignant and slightly emotional experience. I was alone in Lennon's bedroom for a couple of minutes and it felt surreal to imagine (sorry for pun) what had happened or been dreamt up in it. Colin, the guide, was full of anecdotes and a friendly fellow who is obviously passionate about the Beatles. Combined with McCartney's Forthlin Road house it was an experience that will stay with me for a long time. Everyone was delighted.

great to see where it all started and where his auntie mimi lived, and of course where his mother was killed very sad.

The custodian brought the tour alive. He was a mine of interesting information. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Make sure you book through the National Trust prior to the visit as that is the only way you will get in.

I agree with all of the other reviews which praise this National Trust tour. It is quite an experience to be in the houses where John and Paul spent much of their early life. There was one aspect which I found off-putting - at each house all handbags and cameras are confiscated at the door and not returned until the end of the visit - no explanation given. I'm accustomed to 'no photos' rules (which seem mean unless they are for conservation reasons) but in the hundreds of museums and houses and galleries and palaces we have visited all over Europe and beyond, we have never had our handbags taken away. I read all the other reviews here to see whether anyone else had mentioned this odd requirement and nobody else has raised the matter, let alone objected. So I stand alone in finding it offensive.

My parents and I are huge Beatles fans. The only way to get inside John Lennon and Paul McCartney's childhood homes are with the National Trust and this is made abundantly clear, so I don't understand people complaining about it not being good/a day out etc. - if you want to get inside then book on the NT tour.We were picked up from outside the Jury's Inn by the Albert Dock, had a brief brief from the minibus driver about what to expect, a bit of Beatles history, especially for John and Paul then off we went with Beatles music playing. We got to Mendips where we were talked to about John's childhood, what Mimi was like and her attitude and what the National Trust had done (e.g. made it as much like it was when John was growing up as they could). They explained that you can only take pictures outside and that other tours stop off outside so there could be extra noise. The tour guides at both places were very knowledgeable, full of stories of John and Paul's childhoods. Personally, I would have liked more time at John's house as he was my favourite Beatle, but I appreciate that they have lots of tours throughout the day so people can all access it.Highly recommend for any Beatles fan (and indeed want to go back myself), but from pick up to drop of at Jury's Inn it's about an hour and a half, so plan accordingly.

Did not dislike anything Everthing was fine from pick up point to the end of tour Probably not so good if you have a bad back or leg problems as you get out the cab stops a lot but thats the best bits of it.

Visited as part of The Magical Mystery Tour, great to see the Beatles legends home and fantastic to learn of its history from the tour guide. Am must if your a beatles fan.
