Easy to find nature reserve (leave the train at Freshfield station and walk down Victoria Road to the entry point) Lovely and very helpful staff to answer questions and show you the best places to spot the gorgeous red squirrels - we saw half a dozen, and at very close quarters. Pleasant walks down to the spectacular beach and sand dunes, and something new to find with every visit. we spent our time on the beach looking at 6,000 year old hoof prints in the mud...Lots of seating and well sign posted.

Beautiful and vast stretch of sandy beach north of the city. There are lovely forested walks through a red squirrel reserve along with one of the country's most scientifically important dune collections. A great escape from the city and a good place to let children run off some energy. Car parking fee applies.

After finding the main car park completely full we were directed to an alternative at the other end of the beach. From here we had a most enjoyable walk across the sand dunes to the beach, where we tuned north and strolled for half an hour watching the ships out to sea and the aircraft from the Southport Airshow heading home after completing their slot at the show. Turning inland we walked almost to Victoria Road car park before turning South to wend our way back to our car, completely shattered but delightfully happy

Plenty of space to get out enjoy nature and fresh air during Covid restrictions. Felt exhilarated after climbing up the dunes. Ideal for dogs to have a good run on the beach and in the sea. Car park looks to have reduced capacity to help with social distancing. Toilets were open. Had the most delicious cappuccino from a kiosk and resisted the temptation of the sausage butties on offer. Remarkable is the lack of litter.

Great walk, thanks to Rachel of the Lancashire Wildlife Trust. Saw 2 Red Squirrels up in the heights of the Pinewoods.

Had a lovely few days of r and r. We had a deluxe room which was beautiful with a patio and views of the golf course. A bottle of fizz was provided as a welcome and was in a wine cooler waiting for us. Food was lovely and nothing too much trouble for the staff. Tracy was particularly helpful, made us feel so welcome on our arrival and always bright and cheerful when we saw her. We have stayed once a year for the last 11 years and are never disappointed. Cocktails lovely too.
