        The Fisherman’s Path is a scenic and somewhat hidden trail near Formby that leads through the beautiful Ainsdale Sand Dunes Nature Reserve, connecting Formby with the coast and the Sefton Coastal Path.

        It is a mix of sandy trails, wooden boardwalks, and winding paths through pine woodlands and dunes.

        And offers Stunning views of Formby Pinewoods, the River Alt estuary, and the sand dunes.

        It is home to red squirrels, natterjack toads, and various bird species.

        NB: The path can get muddy after rain, and the railway crossing has no barriers, so take care when crossing
