City centre or suburbs
The Mathew Street sites, the Pier Head statue and the Royal Albert Dock are close enough to walk between in an afternoon. The suburban homes are not: Penny Lane, Strawberry Field and Mendips are roughly 5 to 8 km from the Cavern in a straight line, and two of the houses can only be visited inside on pre-booked National Trust tours. The walking order below is computed from each site's coordinates.
