Blundell Avenue, Formby, Merseyside

If you're looking for a nice place to spend an afternoon you can't go far wrong than Red Squirrel Wood at Formby Point in Lancashire and if the weather is good you could easily fill a day here. With the wood and sand dunes being a National Trust area there is a small charge for parking and they also sell food for the squirrels. There are toilets and baby change facilities at the start of the walk around the wood and the walk is well signposted with posters showing where certain landmarks/area of interest are. The only draw back is that there is nowehere to get a drink or anything to eat, unless you fancy an ice cream from the ice cream van that is located by the entrance. There is plenty of designated parking along the road and further down is a large car park just by the dunes.

We strongly recommend you ring Formby Nature Reserve before you set off on your family day out, to make sure they are open and to confirm admission prices. It may also be worth visiting the website for Formby Nature Reserve to see if there are any special events on the day for which you may have to book a ticket. Please also be aware that if Formby Nature Reserve hosts birthday parties, this may limit the access in the cafe/restaurant areas.
