Formby Beach is one of the best in the UK and let's face it, it's basically Lancashire
The weather is changing and getting colder, but there's still time to squeeze in a trip to the beach.
But what about travelling a little further to visit one that's been named as one of the best in the country? Formby Beach, about half an hour from Ormskirk and an hour from Preston has been named by The Sunday Times as one of the best beaches in the UK.Positioned between Southport and Crosby - so close to Lancashire we can *almost* claim it as our own - the beach is on the list due to its “miles of pristine sand, dunes, pine forest, red squirrels, fossils and ocean liners”.
There's a long stretch of golden sand and on a clear day, you can see as far out as the Cumbrian mountains. Owned by the National Trust, it's a haven for wildlife and home to several rare species, including natterjack toads and red squirrels. As well as bucket-loads of sand, Formby Beach certainly has bucket-loads of charm, too. One visitor described it as a ‘hidden gem’ on Tripadvisor. They wrote: “Hidden gem unless you are fairly local. Soft golden sand, and a beach that goes on for miles. Backed by high dunes, it is not for those with limited mobility but great for dogs, family days out and picnics.”
