Squirrels Archives - Southport and Formby Association of the National Trust

Car parking at Formby NT squirrel reserve has undergone some changes to improve the safety of the site and the experience of parking at Formby. The National Trust have introduced opening times and other changes at car parks which may affect your visit.

The changes include a height barrier at the entrance to Lifeboat Road car park, which restricts access to vehicles taller than 2.3m. High-sided vehicles, such as campervans and horseboxes, will have to park on an adjacent field at Lifeboat Road. The field is shut overnight and all remaining vehicles will be locked in. Overnight camping and parking is not permitted.
