About

Formby West and Freshfield North sit on the Sefton coast, characterised by a distinct landscape of pine woods and expansive sand dunes. The area is bordered by the Irish Sea and includes the managed red squirrel reserve within the Formby Pinewoods. This creates a quiet, residential environment with direct access to large areas of protected shoreline and forest.

The flat terrain is defined by sandy paths and the notable presence of the Lifeboat Road, which leads from the village to the beach. The Formby Golf Club is a central feature, with its fairways woven between the dune systems. Housing consists largely of detached properties along wide, leafy lanes, set back from the main coastal road.
