Formby to Freshfield, a Wheelchair Special

Jim Grindle

This is a free sample walk but you need to log in as a member of Walkingworld to access the details. Join or log in above if you are already a member.

The plan is to start at Formby Station, go down the road in the direction of the sea and have a look at the church and the new squirrel-viewing area before picking up the track across open grassland. At the end of the woodland section the road is followed directly to Freshfield Station for a train back; they run every fifteen minutes. The route is pretty flat, although there are two slopes which I am not qualified to assess. The council has marked the route as suitable for wheelchairs, so I assume that they are considered accessible.

Enjoyed this walk although not many squirrels about this time. Wanted to have a look at the Sefton Coastal Path having just completed, in stages, the 69 miles of the Lancashire Coastal Way. Think it is worth doing and Jim has three walks to help. Found his instructions to get to Waymark 3 on this a bit confusing. All you have to do from the station platform is climb the steps to the entrance, turn right and keep going!
