If you're new to my channel and videos, hi! I'm Evan Edinger, and I make travel vlogs of all the exciting places I visit. I started travel vlogging about 8 years ago because I wanted to see more of the world and be able to watch back some of my adventures. I also make weekly comedy videos every Sunday on my main channel usually revolving around funny differences between British vs American things! Anyway, thanks for stopping by!

The reason the beach is that muddy is because you're right at the edge of the Mersey, it's not an estuary as such, but that's all the silt and soil and stuff that's been washed down the river. (Very nice video, as usual, btw, made me feel very nostalgic.)

[@jackmackenzie6721]

Aye, we get it from the other side in New Brighton. Fair bit sandy-er though.

[@andywilliams7323]

More precisely it's washed up from the bed of the estuary onto both Crosby and New Brighton beaches. Due to the very strong tides passing in and out through the narrowest section of the estuary. Which is from between Birkenhead and Liverpool City Center to between New Brighton and Crosby. This tidal shifting up of sediment/mud from the estuary bed is what created the 65 foot deep Crosby Channel. Which is the only narrow channel in the estuary that's deep enough for big ships to navigate. Hence why big ships entering and exiting the Mersey pass by Crossby at just 1 mile out from the beach.

[@stephenlavin4368]

Liverpool is from Lefreg Pol. Which means muddy pool. If I’m remembering my dissertation correctly - it’s been 25 years.

The guy saying "Oh my god" at the end, cracked me up. I enjoyed the video as usual. I thought it was interesting when you talked about staying at that beach as opposed to going on to another one. My hubby is the one who wants to stop for a few minutes here and a few there, but always on to something else. I like to pick a spot to just stay and hang out. It can be a challenge.

[@evan]

Thanks Diane! :)

[@Tymbus]

Good to see you traveling again, the art installation looks fascinating

[@AnjaFi]

The oh my god guy 😂😂 Im from north of Germany where I grew up with as you call it shit beaches with shit worms hahah it’s funny seeing someone discovering it for the first time. The worms (not their shit) are called „Wattwürmer“ 🤓🤓

[@ninan9650]

Indeed, same for me. The English translation is lugworm. The hill is the equivalent to the little hill from mols. Lugworm live in the mudflat, which is very special ecosystem and a very specific fauna.

[@TheAx504]

I grew up in Crosby, and as a kid I spent many hours at Crosby Beach. Although the muddy waters remain, it looks like they have cleaned up the beach since I played there in the 1960s. Great video …. A trip down memory lane!

[@loispritchard]

That's so boss that you're living in Liverpool now. So many great places to visit. I recommend Formby Beach and West Kirby Beach over on the Wirral. There's also some amazing parks like Sefton, Calderstones and Stanley Park. As well as other places like Otterspool Promenade, and the 2 cathedrals in the city centre. So many hidden gems here!

[@alandillon968]

Use to travel to West Kirkby beach when a kid lovely beach as is Formby beach and sand duens and the red squirals in the woods before the beach. The otterspool promenade, Sefton park are good too.

[@heliotropezzz333]

There are sandy beaches all around the UK. Wales is full of beautiful sandy beaches, also Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Kent, East Anglia, Northumbria, Lancashire, Scotland, Northern Ireland. Most are very safe but some of the very flat beaches in Lancashire can be dangerous because there are areas that will suck you in. People without local knowledge have died on Morecambe Beach that way.

[@evewilson2305]

As someone who lives in the Waterloo/Crosby area this is so funny to watch. I live a 5 min walk to that beach!

Love Crosby Beach, I work a few minutes away and go on a Friday after work and we have Fish and Chips watching the sunset and all the ships passing.

In the National Rail Passenger Survey rankings. The Merseyrail Metro consistently ranks as the best, most frequent and most punctual train operator in the country. With a 91% passenger satisfaction rating and 96% punctuality rating. Take that London Underground. 😉 Brand new bigger and better trains are going be gradually introduced onto the network, early next year.

[@tobeytransport2802]

But the London Underground isn’t ranked on that list because it’s separate from national rail... Merseyrail is an operator within the national system (albeit a more metro style system than many others) hence it is ranked on that list but the underground, and Glasgow subway aren’t.

[@andywilliams7323]

@@tobeytransport2802 Fair enough. Just light-hearted city rivalry ribbing. The London Underground is also a great rail transit system. With many great features that Merseyrail hasn't got. Such as trains arriving every 90 seconds, all-night services and a much larger network with a great number of destinations and interconnectivity within the city.

[@tobeytransport2802]

@@andywilliams7323 I’m not a city person (technically I live in a city but it’s more like a town within the same district as a very small city) so I don’t really have much opportunities to go on city transport... the closest big cities to me are London and Brighton so I tend to go on the tube when I can but I would love to come to liverpool and go on your Merseyrail underground railway.

[@andywilliams7323]

@@tobeytransport2802 Do come someday. The network has 75 miles of track (only 6.5 miles of which is underground) throughout Merseyside (mostly through the urban centres and along the coasts) and into parts of Lancashire and Cheshire. It is possible to ride all of the 7 lines/routes back and forth in a single day with a £5.50 Day Saver ticket. Which lets you ride as often as you like anywhere on the network for the day. New trains from Switzerland. The most modern and best metro trains in Britain so far are being gradually introduced next year.

I've lived in Liverpool all my life and I've always thought the Crosby beach was a little weird but we just take it for granted 😂. There are so many places to try , Amalia and casa Italia and both amazing Italian restaurants. Southport and Blackpool are both good visits on the train ,lovely beaches,funfairs and arcades.

Re your comment about the statue's willy. As you're officially British now you must be aware that boys are not routinely circumcised here or anywhere in Europe. It's only done for religious reasons or if there's a real medical reason for it. Being routinely circumcised is an American thing. And a bit weird to be honest.

The North East coast is full of beautiful sandy beaches. Crosby is on the estuary of the Mersey. I love the figures by Anthony Gormley - have you seen The Angel of the North yet?

[@marianneshepherd6286]

I love Antony Gormley and this art installation is so wonderful I'm glad its now a permanent fixture and the people of Liverpool campaigned to keep it

[@mdx7460]

Lots of sinking sand in Crosby. Felt nervous watching you squelch through 😬😬

[@LouseyPie]

Not sure how public transport friendly it is, probably not thinking about it but Formby beach is really nice. There's also a wooded area with red squirrels for a lovely walk.

[@kayleighbullen6483]

It’s about a mile from the station down a long road. But I would always advise walking down the beach on a hot and sunny day. Like for five minutes walk you can have the whole beach to yourself. Versus sitting right next to someone.

[@hanvyj2]

Looks like an estuary! Most beaches aren't like that. Also, Anthony Gormley is one of my favourite artists. His sculptures are great!

I lived in Manchester for a few months and visited Liverpool and Crosby Beach four times. During one of those times we walked over the wet sand and got our boots completely trashed by the mud so when you were building up to say that the sand was basically mud I couldn't help but laugh. I've been really enjoying your latest videos because they bring back so many memories, they give me warm good feelings ☺️🥰

Depends what side of the beach you go, the part by the marina is fine

Watch out for the Quicksand or sinking sand, which can be dangerous and suck you down. Otherwise known as a fluidised bed

[@may01fall]

Please be careful at the beach as it could be quick sand/sinking sand where you were standing. People get stuck and need to be rescued as they sink further in. X

[@AthynVixen]

Evan interesting that you mentioned about pints.. I'm from the North and have lived in London 20 yrs.. I had to go back there to Blackburn for my dads funeral couple of weeks ago and literally nothing is cheaper. Buses are dearer, pubs are about the same, food and groceries and other items are pretty much the same price so i think the only thing that is cheaper up North is Housing. I think those articles always used Central London pricing or Shoreditch etc where its upwards of 7 to 1o quid a pint.. never what most ppl pay in locals. It used to be the case the North was cheaper but not any longer it appears

Or Dorset. Or Devon. Or South Wales. Or the Western Isles.

[@andywilliams7323]

Yer Crosby is a particularly muddy beach. New Brighton beach on the opposite of the estuary also has muddy regions. They get muddy because they're situated at either end of "The Narrows". So-called because it's the straightest and narrowist section of the estuary. Where the river's tidal currents are fastest and strongest. So fast and strong that they shift mud and sediment up from the estuary bottom onto those beaches. Over many years this shifting of the mud has carved out a narrow channel that's up to 65 feet deep in places. To avoid the mud. You have to go beyond "The Narrows" to the beaches further up on the outer estuary. On the Liverpool side, they are Hightown, Formby, Ainsdale and Southport. And on the Wirral side, they are Moreton, Meols, Hoylake and West Kirby. All of those beaches are a short walk from their corresponding Merseyrail train station. It is possible to visit all those beaches in a single full day. For £5.50 you can get a Day Saver Ticket which allows you to ride the Merseyrail train anywhere as often as you like throughout the day.

Finally, a UK beach that looks like the one in my back yard! By the way, that beach mud is probably the same stuff they have at the high end spas. Count yourself lucky that all it cost you was the cost of a train ticket, which is probably significantly less than even the low end spas.

[@rippawallet]

Hmm, maybe but with an added sewage percentage...

[@gemalem]

As someone else said the beach in Crosby is not by the sea, its by the river mersey :) that's why it's so muddy looking haha if you go to Cornwall they have lovely beaches, or even if you go up the coast to Frinton on sea/Walton on the naze they have lovely beaches :) price of a pint is normally good in Liverpool unless you go to a fancy bar, also Crosby is pretty much classed as posh and high end so things there are more expensive

Thanks so much for sharing. We just returned from our late summer vacation in the Black Forest. Watching you and Bliss out on the beach helped extend my feeling of being on vacation a little bit. Keeping my fingers crossed for your next life developments, excited to learn about where you will be living. Tomorrow is Election Day here in Germany, and I’m volunteering as a Wahlhelfer, which I’ve been doing since I became a citizen in 2013. Keep your fingers crossed for us for a good result.

[@catherinerobilliard7662]

The statues are gradually covered by the sea; I find them rather fascinating. You’ll find the mud and salt water excellent for your skin. You’re near the sand dunes of Formby beach, which you reach after walking through a wood; it would be lovely to see a video of that too. The best sandy beaches are in N E England; try visiting Bamburgh which has a medieval castle set among the sand dunes.

[@kayleighbullen6483]

the worms are lugworms - you find them on loads of UK beaches. Also you used to live in Peckham as I recall - where Anthony Gormley had his workshop for some time. Lots of the bollards and streetlamps around Bellenden Road were made by him - but I suspect you know that

Poulton Le fylde, still has stocks, and a whipping post, home to Skipool creek the once mainport for lancashire, later a smugglers port, see the old wrecks down there and old original jettys, meet the river people who live on the beached boats, also a nature reserve further on!

Evan if you’re still in Liverpool and you’re looking for more places to visit, go Hilbre Island off of West Kirby. It’s a lovely seaside town in the Wirral but when the tide clears out, you can walk to three little islands! It’s full of rocky beaches and amazing views of North Wales. It’s amazing!

You should visit beaches on the wirral. Thurstaston, West kirby and my favourite Red Rocks, so beautiful with views to Wales and you can walk to the islands from the beach Also very sandy you won't be disappointed!

[@ronkelley5348]

The mud is the silt washed downstream by the Mersey - the local rock is a red sandstone. You get less of that and more sand as you move further north along the coast to Formby, Ainsdale etc.

[@craigruddock3824]

Plenty of yearly stories from that beach of people rescued from the sinking sand/mud. Even I've not gone out that far.

[@TheEulerID]

That's more estuary silt than sand. I should also add, that as far as the sewage system goes, it was once said that when you went for a dip in Morecambe bay, you weren't do much swimming as "going through the motions"... Needless to say, that's not the situation these days. Also, if you are after seaside sand, then there are plenty of places with that.

[@really-quite-exhausted]

Heysham beach, just to the north of the power station is pretty good for swimming though, provided you go when the tide is properly in, not just a distant shinmer on the horizon 😁

[@dusteddream3070]

you shouldve gone to formby beach, its much better. theres big sand dunes for dune jumping and the pine woods are right next to the beach too

[@alexscott1257]

5:58 Yeah dude what you are looking up at there is one of the sewage pipelines! If you want to swim in Liverpool I would recommend a pool. Also the Mersey and surrounding area is notoriously silty. The name Liverpool actually means "muddy pool".

[@KHatticus]

The worm trails you found are lugworms and you're right - the worm digs down and the trail comes out behind it. The reason the place is muddy too is that you're at the mouth of the River Mersey - so yeah, it's kinda muddy and silty there! There are better beaches if you like the water rather than the water there!!

I grew up in Crosby and Waterloo. The beach is muddy because it is an estuary and the river is full of silt brought down from the pennines.

This whole video makes me want to go for a visit home (I live in Wales currently).

[@danielintheantipodes6741]

It is a shock to me to learn that Liverpool has a beach with any sort of sand at all, though I find myself thinking that the best thing to be said about that sand is that it is like mud. Lest anyone think I am being unkind to the UK, I attest my credentials as an Anglophile! Maybe you could settle for a half pint, to reduce the cost of the ale? Thank you for the video Evan!

[@lollyelle]

Liverpool doesn't have a beach Crosby does! Crosby is a town 6 miles north of Liverpool in the county of Merseyside. It's a river bed that makes the beach so not a chocolate box type of beach like on the south coast or north Devon and Cornwall coast but its a beach and my home town where I grew up

[@AngletarnPikes]

A bit further up the coast, and in kind of the same vein (wide flat sands, but less muddy), I'd recommend doing the "Cross Bay Walk" across Morecambe Bay. You follow laurel branches across the sands, go out into the bay and eventually wade through a channel. It's potentially dangerous - you have to be guided by the official "Queen's Guide to the Sands" - so what might seem like a walk across a beach is actually a mini expedition with a tradition going back centuries.

[@pgbaines65]

You should take a trip to Blackpool day on the pleasure beach then ride a classic tram through the lights see the tower get North of the lights and walk back to the roundabout and back onto the tram. You can get a day ticket for the heritage or the new ones don't forget the kiss me quick hat and the rock. 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧🤠

[@VtorHunter]

Most of the beaches I go to in the UK are really nice sand beaches, but maybe that is just more common in Scotland. I usually go to the West Sands in St Andrews and it is a very nice sand beach. The last beach I went to was on Barra and that is like a Caribean beach (minus 50 degrees)

Those wormy things may have been razor clams. The mud looks a bit like quick sand. You have to be careful during high tide - people have been known to have got stuck out there and need rescuing.

A point about the pints! I grew up hearing about this and, in all fairness, it used to be absolutely true: back in 2007 pints were already £5 in London. I'm sure someone older than me who was maybe paying more attention to news about tax and similar in the 2010s can give us some clues as to why, but my general feeling is that, for a long time, London was way ahead on the pint price, it stuck in the popular imagination, and despite prices inflating at a higher rate in the rest of the UK in more recent years (where pints are concerned), people have been left with that notion.

[@clarea-s6779]

For Sandy beaches try Whitsands Bay, Porthcurno and Newquay in Cornwall. Aberfraw in Anglesey North Wales is also beautiful. For a similar beach to Crosby, Weston Super Mare (Mud) springs to mind which like Crosby, is near the outpourings of a big river in this case thee Severn.

[@SuperGourmetguy]

I think its Razer clams that are doing the beach poos. they are all up the coast, i found loads of shells at Formby point

[@bryantonks5364]

Keep on the train for a few more stops and get off at Formby. Much nicer beach (not muddy because it doesn't get the silt from the River Mersey/Irwell), and you can play spot the cute red squirrel in the woods behind the sand-dunes!!!!. If you want beautiful light golden sandy beaches head north to Northumberland. Just be prepared to freeze!!!

It's an easy to read font! I'm sad the internet has kinda ruined it

Remember the first time i was in Liverpool in like late october and we went to that beach and i saw a man standing in the water it was like 10 degrees or something. And he just stand there and it took me longer than i will admit to understand that was the statues haha.

2:05 I think when Comic Sans started to come with Windows or Office or something in mid-to-late 90's, the font options before that had been pretty much just Arial and Times New Roman. So the new font got used as just something that wasn't the same-old stuff. I'm pretty sure I used it in the body text in some high school essays, and in the headings of even more essays -- and probably in several PowerPoints in later life. And never got any comments on the font choice -- instead, I've seen it used by other people in their presentations. On some people it might have stuck; nowadays Windows alone comes with several new fonts, but now there are so many of them, with so small differences that it's hard to find and decide among them.

What people don’t say when they say ‘the north is cheaper’ is that pretty much every city in the north is an exception to that rule. Prices in Mansfield for example are probably cheaper than Newcastle
