Geocache Description:



Awarded the opportunity to set a Virtual Cache, we thought we'd give a little back to the city we love.


So here goes ...



Liverpool Icons



There are many Liverpool icons; too many to list here.


At gz, you are near to 3 of the most beloved and well-known:


1. The Three Graces/Pier Head



2. The Mersey Ferries.



3. The Beatles. (a sculpture of)



To claim this virtual, all you need to do is include your own, ‘inventive’ photograph (preferably date-stamped – go on, you can do it …) of A Liver Bird with your log.

Aside from the obvious pair, there are many more Liver Birds; dotted around the city centre, and a dedicated trail of them in the museum over the way (see here), so why not make your photograph an alternative one ...

We're sorry but, as this is a virtual cache, logs without the required photograph will have to be deleted.


Did you know ...? ‘Hidden’ on each member of The Beatles sculpture here is something personal to each of them:

Paul has a memory of his late, photographer wife – a camera

George has a nod to his spiritual beliefs – some Sanskrit writing

Ringo has an item referring to where he was raised – an ‘L8’ inscription

John has his own token for world peace – 2x acorns

Have a go and see if you can you spot them all.


We’ve included waypoints on this listing of a city centre circular walk to more of Liverpool’s music-themed sculptures. Not all sculptures have been included and there are lots more; just look around (not forgetting, up). The walk is around 1.5 miles (2.5 km) long and should only take around 1 hour.

A little more on Liverpool's sculptures can be read here.



We hope you thoroughly enjoy your time in our wonderful city.



Enjoy 😎
