The Ainsdale and Birkdale Sandhills Nature Reserve contains the spectacular Ainsdale Hills, Birkdale Hills, Frontals, Sands Lake, Velvet Trail, and Birkdale Beach, as well as unique dunes, beaches, and forest habitats, and begins at a calm place with free parking. The reserve is exceptionally rich in plant life, with moist slacks covered with blooms such as Early-marsh Orchid, Marsh Helleborine, and Grass of Parnassus throughout the summer. There are defined routes to follow on highly different terrain, and the setting is so serene and wild that everyone will forget their problems and have a one-of-a-kind experience.
