How to find us

 

 

Formby is on the north west coast of England between Liverpool and Southport.

St. Luke's church is to the west of the town, on the edge of pinewoods and a nature reserve, and just a short walk from the beach.

Getting here from the M57 motorway. The M57 opens to 4 lanes at its end. You need to be in the lane second from left, and will turn onto the A5036. Signposting is something like Bootle and Docks.

You go through a double set of traffic lights and turn left. You are now on a dual carriageway and should keep in the right hand lane ready to turn right in about 150 yards, at the first set of traffic lights.

The road turns right and then has a long left hand curve before straightening out. You come to some traffic lights and should be in the left hand lane - you go straight ahead, although it is a rather awkward junction that is not quite straight.

At the next traffic lights turn right. This is the A565. You go through some woods, and the road open onto a dual carriageway.

At the first roundabout turn left for Formby

The road bends right and there is a filling station on the right. Almost immediately after the filling station is a mini roundabout. Turn left. You have rather more than a mile to go.

You will cross a level crossing, and after about half a mile come to a cross roads. Turn right and you will see St. Luke's on your left after about 50 yards.

From the M58, follow signs onto the A5036 and proceed as above.

 

From Ormskirk follow signposts on the B5195 to Formby. You cross the A565 at traffic lights, and come to a "T" junction close to a bend. Turn left, and left again at the large roundabout. Then turn right at a mini roundabout.

By Rail. Formby is on the Merseyrail Northern Line that goes from Southport in the north to Hunt's Cross in the south. It passes through Liverpool Moorfields and Central stations. If arriving at Lime Street you need to get to Central - this is a 5 minute walk, or one stop on the Wirral line. From Central get a train in the direction of Southport. Alight at formby, and walk up the steps to the roadway. Turn right. St. Luke's is about 15 minutes walk.
