Geocache Description:


Bidston Hill is 100 acres of heath land and woodland that contains historic buildings and ancient rock carvings. It is on the Wirral, Merseyside, and reaches a height of 231 feet making it one of the highest points on the Wirral.

We were heading back to the car having visited the Sun Goddess, and we came across this strange metal gateway in the railings.


By placing a cache close to here we realised it would provide the “missing link” in a circular walk on Bidston Hill visiting all the caches on this side of Vyner Road North. The suggested sequence which takes you along the ridge from the Windmill, around the Observatory/Lighthouse and back at a lower level through the woods is :

1. GC1HT98 : Windmill (for information off the plaque)
2. GCQ35H : I’ll Race you to Biddy Hill
3. GC1HTAC : Viewpoint (stage then cache)
4. GC1JETR : Observatory
5. GC1JETQ : Lighthouse (Stage then cache)
6. GC1K1Z9 : Sun Goddess (Stage then cache)
7. GC1K1ZY : This Missing Link
8. GC1HT98 : Windmill (final cache)
