Cycling is allowed on the beach and along both of the roads that go through the site. We have one cycle friendly path that can be accessed via our dune car park or from Blundell Avenue and passes behind the sand dunes to Sefton MBC’s car park at Lifeboat Road. This cycle path is part of the 5 mile circular Asparagus cycle route which takes in Formby village. Leaflets of this route are available at our entrance kiosk.
Due to the fragile nature of the landscape we ask that cyclists keep to the designated cycle path, tarmacked roads or beach only.
Cycle racks are available next to our entrance kiosk.
RUNNING
With 1 1/2 miles of sandy beach, 2 tarmacked roads and miles of paths, with a variety of surfaces, there are plenty of options for runners. So whether you are out for a day’s endurance training, working on your trail run technique or simply want a quiet jog through the woods, you’ll find space here at Formby.
ORIENTEERING
Our permanent orienteering course, funded by MEROC, is available all year round. You can make up your own course or pick from our suggested easy, medium or harder routes. Orienteering packs and compasses can be purchased from our entrance kiosk or information trailer during opening hours.
We offer orienteering as one of our activity kits for schools and groups, for more information click here.
