About Woodside Ferry Market, Visit Britain said: "Look across the River Mersey from Liverpool’s waterfront to Woodside Food and Market, based in Birkenhead’s Woodside Ferry Village. Pulling together artisan makers, creators and entrepreneurs, this market is the place to be for finding artsy produce, proper tasty nosh and sweeping citywide views.
