Beatles: Mendips & 20 Forthlin Road Tour

The National Trust looks after two suburban houses in Merseyside, 20 Forthlin Road and Mendips. These unassuming houses are the childhood homes of two Beatles, Sir Paul McCartney and John Lennon.

Mendips & 20 Forthlin Road is a joint tour of the 1950's terraced houses, where the Beatles met, rehearsed and wrote many of their earliest songs. Mendips is where John Lennon lived with his Aunt Mimi and Uncle George and composed early songs in the front porch and in his bedroom. The National Trust opened Mendips, to the public for the first time on Saturday 29th March 2003. The house was bought by Yoko Ono Lennon in 2002 and was immediately donated by her to the Trust.

Tour times may change; you are advised to telephone in advance to secure a seat. There is no direct access to these properties by car or foot.
