This project is located northwest of Liverpool and is part of the Sefton Coast. Dunes formed by recent wind and sand are the main landscape features of the Sefton Coast. Various types of dune habitats make the Sefton Coastal Reserve an internationally important dune group reserve. However, coastal erosion has become the most serious problem of Sefton Coast, and Formby Point is the most seriously eroded part of the coastline.

The programme accepts and maintains the kinetic energy of geomorphic processes, adapts to natural coastal evolution and erosion dynamics, and protects semi-natural habitats. It is committed to leveraging Formby Point’s most ecologically valuable dynamic coastal landscape resources to attract more visitors and provide a good green infrastructure to help visitors understand the area’s special ecosystem.

The design itself is a dynamic continuous process, in which the design of the footpath is hierarchically distinct and changes with the passage of time and the change of the dunes. The goal of the project is to protect the dunes, consolidate the coastline, and utilise their ecological resources.
