Glorious beach with dramatic sand dunes, surrounded by sweeping coastal pinewoods.
Celebrating our 50th Anniversary at Formby
Happy birthday to us! We are very excited to be celebrating our big 5-O at Formby in 2017. We’ve been caring for 210 hectares of this special stretch of coastline since 12 April 1967. It is a wonderful place, loved by many and home to a wealth of rare wildlife including Natterjack Toads and Red Squirrels. We are looking forward to the next 50 years and the possibility of caring for an additional 204 hectares of the coast here at Formby.
