Woolton is a suburb of Liverpool in Northern England that is probably best known as the home of the Beatles’ John Lennon. Lennon's childhood home on Menlove Avenue has been preserved by the National Trust as a historic building and tours are offered throughout the year. Woolton is also the location of Strawberry Field, which was the inspiration for the 1967 Beatles' song, Strawberry Fields Forever.
