Sephton Farm Fisheries

Alright, so Sephton Farm Fisheries. If you're into a spot of fishing, this place near Ormskirk (but still technically Southport, Merseyside!) is worth a look. It's got a decent 4.2 stars from 80 reviews on Google, which is a solid score.

It's all outdoors, naturally, so keep an eye on the weather. They're open crazy early, like 6:15 AM, and stay open 'til 9 PM every single day of the week. That's dedication! Might be good if you're trying to escape the family for a bit, but I wouldn't say it's especially geared towards kids, unless your little ones are keen anglers.

It's more of a year-round thing, assuming you don't mind braving the elements in winter. Give them a ring on 01704 893178 if you want to check conditions or book a spot. They’ve also got golf there, though I couldn’t tell you much about it.

Worth knowing – it can get a bit muddy around the banks, especially after rain, so wear your wellies!
