The quintessential, British day out at the Beach
Grab your picnic blanket and a hot flask of tea, it's time for a British day at the beach! Today you'll be heading to the West Coast, to Formby, where you'll enjoy a picnic on the beach before taking a troll along the stunning coastline. You'll finish your day with a stop at one of the very best local 'chippys' before heading home!

Formby Beach, National Trust Formby
Take a short walk down to Formby Beach!
This beautiful stretch of sandy beach is a favourite North West destination and can get quite busy during school holidays and bank holidays.
Lay out your picnic blanket and spend a few hours enjoying the beautiful scenery!

Formby Pinewoods
Once you've eaten and let the food go down, why not take a walk up the coastline.
If you want, you can stop here and take a walk around the Fisherman's Path which will take you through a gorgeous pine wood, where you can often spot the elusive red squirrels!

Ainsdale Beach
If you opted not to take the Fisherman's Path, then continue down the coast until you reach Ainsdale Beach.
Once home to a popular railway station, the area is now very popular among kite surfers and other extreme kite activities!
