Western Approaches

I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Western Point War Rooms, and it was an outstanding experience. The wealth of historical information available was truly impressive, making it an educational journey through time. The staff were not only knowledgeable but also incredibly friendly, adding a welcoming touch to the visit.Exploring the war rooms left me hungry for more, and I'm already looking forward to my next visit. If you're a history enthusiast or just curious about wartime history, the Western Point War Rooms should be at the top of your list. It's a place where learning and exploration come together seamlessly, and I can't wait to return for another enriching adventure.

A wonderful time warp of the underground labyrinth of rooms chronicling the amazing work of Western Approaches Command controlling the Atlantic convoys during WWII. There are numerous fascinating artefacts, a bath that Winston Churchill used and the Operations Room left as it was when it closed in 1945. The vital work by the WRNS and WAAF is shown. A great place to visit with friendly helpful staff.

Lovely staff and such an interesting museum around one of the main top secret naval control bunkers of the 2nd world war. Would recommend to anyone who wishes to discover additional WW2 Naval history.

Delve into the secure, underground cavernous Command and Contol Centre for WWII's Battle of The Atlantic!!Newly renovated and featuring never before seen rooms this will captivate the imagination of adults and children alike.For those very young and inquisitive minds it offers the chance to search for a hidden character called Admiral Mouse Horton, will you be the only one to find this ellusive mouse??

What a place! Seems to be very unknown, but Western Approaches was vital to counteract the U-boat threat.Brilliant museum, the fact the rooms look like they used to, plus the exhibits are amazing.The only issue I have with museums like this (including Bletchley park) is the fact they don't really cross over. For example ULTRA decrypts were vital to counter the threat, as was Western Approaches. It would be good for them to reference each other and maybe work together in that respect.I feel the shop could be a lot better, especially on the book front. For example Marc Milner did an amazing book on this topic called Battle of the Atlantic".Overall

A very interesting museum about how operations were organised in the war. Everything is well explained by the information on the walls and the museum itself is interactive which made the displays more immersive. We were pretty much the only people there, so was really quiet when we were walking about.

Important landmark preserved as an everlasting reminder the contribution Liverpool made to the war effort. Brilliant staff. Excellent exhibits. The war room is breathtaking!

Brilliant place to visit. We visited on a Saturday lunch and it was quite quiet. The staff are lovely and very informative. Lots to read and explore and it great that it's been opened to the public to keep the history alive.Tickets are valid for a year so will definitely be back for another visit.We took our time and spent nearly 2hrs there.

This is such a wonderful museum! According to their website, “Commanders, WRNS and WAAF personnel worked day and night in the Operations Room, the nerve centre of the Battle of the Atlantic. Here they monitored convoy routes and vital shipping lines, pin-pointing enemy locations on a huge map wall, where total accuracy was necessary to enable the Royal Navy to contact and destroy the enemy.The Operations Room has remained exactly how as it was left when the doors were closed on 15 August 1945.The sad part of the story of this museum is that the original space was about three times larger

Great place to visit. Amazing that it lay undiscovered all those years after the war,but great that they've opened it up to the public now. When we arrived, a school trip had just arrived, and they looked like they were enjoying the guided tour through the museum.
