It's one of those places on Earth visiting which makes your heart skip a beat... And then it begins to beat faster and faster... When you see the place where John spent his childhood: his living room, kitchen, his bedroom with the bed on which he used to sit, play and compose... it's simply the feeling that cannot be described......

There is a blue plaque on the wall of this house. I felt the most poignant part of this visit was to see how close it is to the place on the road where John Lennons Mother was killed. John would have seen this easily everyday from his window. Thought provoking. Otherwise you are looking at a house. More

My friends and I visited the property as part of the National Trust tour. I am not a great Beatles fan but nonetheless I found it very informative and it was great to see the work that the National Trust have put in here to make the experience as authentic and as informative as possible. The guide, Miriam, was a... More

I had to go and it was every bit as amazing as I thought it would be - you can almost feel his energy in every room! My partner is not the biggest Beatles fan but he loved it too - its a must if you want to know what gave those early records their home grown brilliance More

Brilliant! Only on the National Trust tour can you gain access to inside the house. The custodian of the house, our guide, was very knowledgeable and because he grew up in the same area as John Lennon his stories were personal and informative. You aen't allowed to take photographs but you can view a lot of original belongings from the... More

We visited Mendips, John Lennon's childhood home this weekend via the National Trust tour and I would recommend it most wholeheartedly. It was paired with a visit to 20 Forthlin Road, Paul McCartney's former home and the guides were excellent. It was fascinating to hear about their early lives and what was going on when they lived in these houses.... More
