Formby Pinewoods

Description

Just over ten miles from the city, the National Trust's coastal reserve is home to some of Britain's endangered species such as the Natter-Jack Toad and Sand Lizard. Breathe in the fresh pine scented air as you take a leisurely stroll through Formby Pinewoods and onto the sand dunes of Sefton's coastline. Follow the guided walkways to discover the local flora and fauna. The walker's entrance to the Pinewoods is at Kirklake Road, but the main car park is located on Lifeboat Road.

Fishermans Path.

By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/13/06

It had hardly changed since I first had the pleasure of playing in the woods just of the path in the month before the WW11 began.I could not find the tree which we used to climb when training in the Boy Scouts which I would dearly have liked to as I think it was the climbing of that tree that made Mast climbing so easy when I later went to sea. What is now a housing estate off Victoria Rd was Harrington Barracks, an Army camp.It was nice to see that the Red Squirrels are still on the woods. Long may they live there. I am pleased to see that my Son and his family feel the same about the area. Ken Booth.

It's a must for all the family!

By A Yahoo! Contributor, 2/3/06

We go here every year weather permitting, we start off by walking through the nature reserve admiring the scenery along the way, and keeping an eye out for the locals THE RED SQUIRRELLS, if you can be sure to be considerate talk a walk off the tourists path as this is where you will find most of the squirrels. After all this excitement we head off to the beach at the end of the reserve for our picnic and a well deserved ice cream, splash in the water make a few sandcastles and were all home in time for tea! Go see for yourselves, its a must for all the family.
