Explore - We visited this place during a busy weekend. Situated next to the main entrance for Formby beach we weren’t sure what to expect. Having only seen pictures of the inside we were shocked to find an outdoor pool/jacuzzi. With all of the palm trees it felt like we were abroad or...

An accidental visit which might be of interest to locals who don’t already know about it. I used to walk the dogs in the nearby woods about 5 years ago and the health club cafe was the closest place one could get something to eat. Remembering this I dropped by for a coffee and sandwich last...
