It’s home to an impressive range of wildlife, with more than a quarter of a million migrating water birds feeding in and around the estuary. There’s also Hesketh Out Marsh, Marshside and Martin Mere Nature Reserve all easily accessible.
For lovers of the great outdoors, a network of footpaths and dedicated cycle routes radiate from the area, and in Southport you can pick up the Trans Pennine Trail. The popular seaside town of Southport has lots to offer, including 22 miles of coastline and the second longest pleasure pier in the British Isles. There are shops, bars and mouth-watering restaurants, together with traditional seaside amusements, a cinema and an indoor water park. The train station in Southport provides easy access to both Liverpool and Chester for anyone craving the bright lights and culture of a big city.
Other places of interest nearby include the National Trust’s Rufford Old Hall (10 mins) and the National Trust’s Formby, a glorious beach with dramatic sand dunes, surrounded by sweeping coastal pinewoods (40 mins). Slightly further afield, the Ribble Valley and city of Lancaster can both be reached in about an hour, and just a little bit further again is the southern Lake District National Park or the Forest of Bowland (an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty). Whatever you are looking for, this holiday home makes a wonderful base at any time of year. Beach 10 miles. Shop ½ mile, pub and restaurant 2 miles.

Welcoming cottage. Clean, with everything you would need for your stay. Welcome basket with lovely treats including something for the dogs. There were also some flowers. The beds were comfortable and the living area was amazing. The garden was lovely and even had 2 covered seating areas. We loved the steam train the went passed the end of the garden at the weekend. Shops, cafés and lots of walks within walking distance. Central for many other places to visit.
