Along the North West coast is miles of beautiful shoreline; there are charming seaside towns with old-fashioned piers, vast beaches and of course Blackpool, home to the iconic illuminations. And there are those spots which provide a more rugged and wild coastal experience, perfect for a day trip this autumn.
Formby Beach is probably the go-to destination if you’re looking for pretty sand dunes and woodland walks, yet a few miles further north there’s a quieter alternative with equally gorgeous scenery. Ainsdale Beach has all the things Formby has, just without the crowds.
Ainsdale features a serene pinewood, where you can wander along various trails which weave their way through the towering trees. It’s an atmospheric walk and certainly delivers if you’re after that classic autumnal atmosphere.
