Geocache Description:

Sefton Coastal Footpath

Set on the Sefton Coastal Footpath. Access is available from several directions.

If coming from the north take obvious care when crossing the railway line.

So called because from the cache site you could well see trains and boats and... well there were no planes today.

Stretching for just over 20 kilometres (about 12 miles) along the coast of northwest England and linking the two seaside towns of Crosby and Southport, Sefton Coastal Footpath is a great way to escape the bustle of life and to get some fresh air and exercise while getting up close to some rare flora and fauna, ancient remains and a lot of sand.

The Sefton Coastal Footpath was developed by Sefton Council for a number of reasons:

The footpath was designed to link a number of already existing paths that ran along short sections of the Sefton coast close to towns and villages. By linking these paths people were able to explore the sections in between.

The Sefton coastline is home to a number of rare species, such as the Natterjack Toad and native red squirrels, and contains the most extensive and developed dune system in England. As a result, large sections are designated as Sites of Special Scientific Interest, EU Special Protection Areas and Special Areas of Conservation. The footpath passes through them all, as well as a variety of Local Nature Reserves and English Nature and National Trust properties.

The footpath has become part of a project to build a footpath along the entire Northwest coast and also shares its final stage with the Trans-Pennine Trail.
