Geocache Description:


#12 / 91

The Bull has become an icon of Birmingham. There's been a bull ring in the city centre since the Middle Ages, but most recently as a shopping centre and statue. The flag of Birmingham has a bull's head on it, in reference to this history. This series of puzzle caches showcases the city's iconic bull.

The cache is not at the posted co-ordinates.
