What to see:The sand dunes of the Fylde coast may only be a fragment of a once extensive dune system but they still provide a habitat for a wealth of wildlife. Over 280 different plant species have been recorded on the dunes from the mobile dunes on the coast to the fixed dunes of the Local Nature Reserve. This includes internationally rare plants such as the Isle of Man cabbage and the Dune Helleborine which only grow in Great Britain.
