A substantial gate has recently been placed across the bridle-way from Freshfield to Fisherman's Path. It demarkates an area of precious dune-heath habitat that the railway crosses here, and is to discourage motor vehicle access. You may find it open or closed.
Thanks to Lancashire Wildlife trust for clarifying the status of this area.
WONDERFUL QUICK FIND!! Congratulations to SirPhiPamAndRob for being FTF!
