Formby to Ainsdale
Hightown to Formby
Formby to Southport
A scenic route. A scenic, easy-to-follow coastal walk on generally well-maintained paths, leaving Formby through a golf course and pine forest and then following the Trans Pennine Trail beside sand dunes and marram grass before a roadside stretch into Southport. Mostly flat; the woods have rougher pounded-earth paths with rises and falls. Follows the Trans Pennine Trail for a section; both ends are on the same railway line, and the walk can be started from Freshfield station.
Lunch: Coffee shops at both ends.
Warnings: There is a footbridge and gated, signalled level crossings near Formby that are not accessible to all; the path can get sandy in places.
Walk details: Slow Ways.
