National Trust - Formby

Amazing beach, pathway through the forest leading to sand dunes which you have to cross to get to the beach.Hefty parking fee though - £8.50. Free for National Trust members.Toilets close at 4.There's a great ice-cream van to enjoy an ice cream while watching the sun go down.Witnessed one of the best sunsets of my life here!

I go here for two reasons: firstly, my dogs love the sand dunes and the beach. Secondly the red squirrels. Great place

National Trust - Formby is an absolute gem of a location. Its stunning natural beauty and the serenity of the beach and pine woods make it a must-visit spot for nature enthusiasts. The friendly and knowledgeable staff, as well as the well-maintained facilities, ensure a delightful experience for all visitors. Highly recommended!

We came after hours for the amazing sunset. The beach is white sand and spotless. Great place to bring the dog for a run.Come during the day it's National Trust. The red squirrels are shy but if you come early, you'll definitely see them..it.

Beautiful beach and forests walks. We ended up paying for the national trust membership, but it's well worth it than paying the parking fee.Beach is huge and stunning, forests walks on the way down.Would highly recommend visiting.

I visited at 8 Sunday morning so no cue and plenty of parking roads and paths were all clear with bins emptied and what I was expecting for a national trust site, I walked down to the bottom carpark where a display type vehicle was setting up with music playing from hi power speakers so much for a quiet early walk but the real shocker was the parking charges £8 but nowhere was the parking charges times or penalties which are part of the legal requirements when asking persons to buy a parking ticket as it form part of the agreement.Me personally I would park elsewhere and walk through.

Nice beach, less windy than some others. It's a no fly zone for drones. There is no service so bring cash to pay to park because there is never service for card machine. Beach itself is nice. Also parking is expensive. It's £8.50 which is quite pricy when you just want to stay 3 or 4 hours..

Beautiful spot. Expensive national trust parking £7:50. Woodland area, sand dunes, beach and sea. Toilets near the entrance. Refreshments via 2 ice-cream vans at either end of the car parks

This beach is very clean and good to walk when low tide ,sands on the beach makes our walk slow,good place for children to enjoy and play with family,can try paragliding, parking area cost 7.50 pound for whole day.Toilet is near in the first parking area.

My family and I were staying locally and heard about this place. Read a few reviews and decided to take a look for ourselves. We parked up at the National Trust car park which is based centrally to the walking paths. It's £8.50 to park but wasn't an issue. Toilets available regardless and an ice cream van I'm assuming in peak season, but we went on a Tuesday in November so it wasn't available. Parking is ample. Home to a lovely forest home to red squirrels, leading to a large walking path. Multiple walks leading to the beach/sand dunes which were a great spectacle even in winter. Just caught the high tide too, so worth checking before you go. We did a couple of miles over an hour or two with a buggy (although hard at times). Very dog friendly. Lovely walk.
