The International Lighthouse Passport scheme was launched last year by Lizard Lighthouse Visitor Centre. Similar schemes have proved popular in North America.
Passport holders collect ink stamps from lighthouse visitor centres. Each page has space for one lighthouse stamp and additional notes so that you can also use it to keep a record of your visits.
In Wirral, Bidston, Leasowe and Hilbre Island Lighthouses all have lighthouse stamps and limited stocks of lighthouse passports for sale.
The Association of Lighthouse Keepers maintain a full list of lighthouses with passport stamps.
The passport stamp for Bidston Lighthouse is based on a line drawing by Phil Ryder. Thanks, Phil.
