Two of England's 100 top historically significant places are mentioned in this Historic England news article about Wirral.

The first one mentioned, Birkenhead Park, was inspirational for the design and planning of New York's Central Park, apparently.

You can check out the rest of the hundred via a link there too.

Tried the link Baggs but couldn't find the list just how to find the podcast. Would love to see it. Any better link?

You have to scroll down, trisher, but actually it's not what I expected. The link is for future suggestions, I think, and a podcast.

I could only find those two, Baggs; maybe the others haven't published their choices yet?

Thanks for those CherryHatrick and the OP Baggs I wanted to read a whole list! I don't know if I can be bothered with a podcast. I do like to be able to look at something.
