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.
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。
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.
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 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.
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。
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。
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.
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.
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.
