Willowbank Holiday Park is set within a 30-acre landscaped, fenced site on the stunning Sefton Coastline in Merseyside, positioned between Ainsdale, Formby, and Southport.

Story of the Surrounding Area

• Coastal and Pinewood Heritage: The region surrounding the park is defined by the unique geography of the Sefton Coast, famous for its sweeping golden sands and extensive protected pine woods. The nearby Formby Pinewoods and Beach, managed by the National Trust, are historic red squirrel reserves and dramatic shifting dune landscapes that have evolved over centuries.
• The Butterfly Route & Cycling Trails: The area is crisscrossed by scenic pathways like the Butterfly Route, a popular local trail taking cyclists and walkers through coastal paths, past the historic Freshfield area and local pubs dating back to the late 19th century, blending rich rural countryside with coastal views.
• Art and Culture Down the Coast: A short distance away lies Crosby Beach, globally famous for ‘Another Place’—an installation by artist Antony Gormley featuring 100 life-size cast-iron figures facing out toward the Irish Sea.
• Victorian Seaside Proximity: Just minutes away is the classic resort town of Southport, known for its historic Victorian architecture, Lord Street shopping, and the iconic Southport Pier and Marine Lake, offering a distinct contrast to the tranquil natural reserves flanking the holiday park.
