A well kept site with good facilities
Stayed at Southport for the first time for three nights in mid Jan during the latter end of the cold spell. Site was only half open which was understandable being more of a fair weather site location, so was nice and quiet. Facilities were very good and always warm and clean, and the wardens were very helpful with our questions regarding the area. Site is well located for flat cycle routes, however we didn't bring our bikes as the weather forecast was not promising for our stay, but it did turn out better than expected. Took the train from Birkdale to Crosby to see the Beach Iron Men, a fascinating sight. Went to Birkdale town, and enjoyed some of the Cafes and shops in the centre, whilst admiring the avenues of quite impressive houses. Stopped in the Fishermans Rest and enjoyed a few drinks and nice meal. Had a nice walk along Southport's sea wall into town, which although a little tired, had some wonderful buildings and many of the shops were occupied
