Fisherman's Path
Hardly politically correct and probably a name that wouldn't be allocated to any new paths but, today we walked along this path to the Sefton Coast where we looked over Liverpool Bay and the Irish Sea, with Blackpool on the Northern Horizon.
The slide show, embedded below, is made up of the images that I took with my iPhone.
Our 3.8129 miles (6.1362 km) route has been saved and is available at...
The National Trust Car Park was closed - For Public Safety Reasons - There had been high winds and some trees, observed on our walk, had been up-rooted.
So we went and parked at the railway station.
It was nice to see the Gorse in flower as we made our way to the railway crossing.
The bright yellow flowers brightening up a fairly overcast day.
There were some "Fishermen's Jackets" (at term used for small patches of blue sky) as we crossed the Liverpool - Southport Railway line. Next to the path over the Golf Course, we saw lots of fungi...
...of different types....
...and sizes...
The bright green of the conifers also brightened the day...
... as most of the deciduous trees have lost their leaves.
The sign post on the other side of the golf course didn't mention the name of the path we were following...
...mustn't upset anyone!
The Sea Buckthorn berries (also referred to as sandthorn, sallowthorn, or seaberry) were observed throughout the walk
As we neared the dunes, we saw a new bench that had mosaics of sand lizards embedded on three sides...
...a nice addition to the benches and seating within the reserve.
The Sea Buckthorn's presence increased as we got closer to the dunes.
When we reached the dunes and the beach, the tide was way out...
Looking to the north we could see Blackpool Pleasure Beach, on the horizon...
After a windy walk along the beach, towards Liverpool, we headed back in land via the dunes. then back into the forest...
I caught some glimpses of Red Squirrels but unable to photograph them...
As we reached almost the end of our walk, just before walking along Victoria Road, we did see four very active Red Squirrels that made our day!
