Explore Liverpool city centre with two self-guided heritage walks with a treasure hunt theme. Discover Liverpool's "hidden treasures" whilst having a fun day out with family and friends!
Liverpool has two cathedrals, one situated at each end of Hope Street. The Anglican cathedral is the 5th largest in the world, and has the world’s highest and heaviest bells, and its tower is more than 100 metres high. The cathedral’s Grand Organ is made up of 10,267 pipes, making it the biggest in the UK. Liverpudlians are sometimes called scousers after a type of stew which includes lamb or beef, cabbage, carrot, potatoes and onion. The Philharmonic pub, on Hope Street, is dazzling and flamboyant and is reputedly the most ornate pub in England.

1. Two Cathedrals - 1.5 miles / 2.4 kms
This route starts at Liverpool's remarkable Catholic Metropolitan Cathedral – ‘a luminous beauty within a conical shape’. From here the route wends its way past university buildings, through streets soaked in history, where Prime Ministers once lived. Pass a pub once frequented by John Lennon, followed by the school once attended by Sir Paul McCartney, before finishing at the truly stunning and immense Anglican Cathedral.

2. Cathedral Circular - 1 mile / 1.6 kms
Starting at the Anglican Cathedral, head along Liverpool's equivalent of Harley Street, where many famous Liverpudlians have lived and worked. Pass the 'bombed-out church' of St Luke's which took a direct hit during the blitz, before tasting some of Liverpool’s older, fashionable shopping streets. Finally enjoy the largest Chinese Arch outside China, before returning to the magnificent Anglican Cathedral - the longest cathedral in the world!

"We tried both Liverpool 1 and 2 and loved them both. The booklets arrived next day, which was great service. We particularly liked the two cathedrals walk, as it was an area of Liverpool we knew nothing about. The clues kept us busy for two or three hours, and afterwards we really enjoyed a coffee in the cathedral! I'd recommend it to anyone - young or old!"
