   The Devil's Hole is a natural blow out amongst the sand dunes near Formby Point. The coast is windswept and atmospheric and wandering amidst the marram and sandhills you will stumble across the old military firing range outpost of The Royal Observatory Corps too. Access is via the Hoggs Hill footpath leading to Cabin Hill and from the path behind Range High School. The Devil's Hole is also the first track on an upcoming 2026 Ambient music album inspired by this location, all composed and produced by myself! Stay tuned.

   The Devil’s Hole blowout on the Sefton Coast is a popular sand dune feature, believed to have originated from a WWII bomb blast. The site has long been a recreational spot for locals and a scenic viewpoint for walkers in the Ravenmeols Sandhills Local Nature Reserve. Ownership of the Devil’s Hole was transferred from Sefton Council to the National Trust, ensuring its preservation and continued enjoyment by the public.

   Beautiful place to walk. It is a breeding area for natterjack toads. My walk was only spoilt by an idiot encouraging his labrador to run into and through the water despite plentiful signage telling people not to let dogs go in!!

   Spent my entire childhood under a mile from here and never once did I hear the term Devil’s Hole. We used to call it the Blow Out or The Big Dipper. So many adventures and amazing times. Miss it like crazy. My work took me away but I do kinda one day dream of living here once again. I consider myself very very lucky. What a childhood :)

   Cool place, take a sledge for the kids to zoom down the sand hills, don't let your dogs in the water, as it is a nesting place for natterjack toads and contains blue algae, which is toxic for the doggy. :(

   I love the sand dunes so much I could spend hours and hours wondering around exploring look at all the wildlife and landscapes. Such an excellent place for your mental and physical health!

   We’d heard of this place so took a nice Sunday afternoon stroll along the beach to find it. The boys loved it and so did we. We’d previously done the Natterjack trail and skirted around it. We hadn’t realised it was so close. Worth a visit.
