About This AttractionSuggest an Edit

Formby Nature Reserve is a lovely place to take the whole family. You may get a chance to see a rare red squirrel as you explore the natural beauty on a woodland walk. The sand dunes are a wonderful site to see and as Formby is known for its farming history, you'll see sheep, which are used as a simple natural and effective way of preventing the wild grass from choking other plants.
