Join Justin on this stunning beach walk around Formby on Lancashire's West Coast.
We will take in the the beach, sand dunes and weave our way through the coast forest on this diverse day walk.
The Sefton coast home to red squirrels natterjack toads, sand lizards as well as other interesting flora and fauna.
The walk is flat and about 10 miles long. I would give up to 6 hours to complete the walk
This is a dog friendly walk, so well behaved dogs welcome.
We will call into a pub near the end .
