28) Formby Nature reserve, Victoria Road, Formby, Liverpool, L37 1LJ.

​

Distance:

Approx 4 miles.

​

Terrain:

Tarmac, path, wooden boardwalk, sand dusted paths. Woodland and meadow path - dirt path, wide.

A few wide bridges.

​

The paths lead to the beach - at the end of the well made path the stand becomes soft and quite deep - so access onto the beach will be very hard. Unless you have a willing person to assist you.

Away from the beach and the paths are good- the sections in the pine woods are a little undulating but ok.  Manual self-propelling wheelchair users might struggle to get around all.

​

Facilities on site:

The reserve is managed by the National Trust.

No cafe, there are toilets provided. Picnic benches are provided.

​

None National Trust members have to pay £7.50 per vehicle. Free to National Trust members.
