Visiting the real Strawberry Fields

World Update

Available for over a year

The Beatles song, with its dreamy lyrics - nothing is real, nothing to get hung about - put the gardens of a former children's home on the world map. Now, Strawberry Fields will be forever. From Saturday, visitors will have the chance to walk through the gardens of the Strawberry Field home in Woolton, Liverpool, where John Lennon used to play as a boy. The land is owned by the Salvation Army. Kathy Versfeld, Missions Director, takes us down to Strawberry Fields. (Photo: The gates of the former children's home. Credit: Jim Dyson/Getty Images)
