National Trust Formby

Isabelle Spall

Manager of the Dynamic Dunes Project for National Trust Formby.

Talks about Formby’s Nicotine Cliffs - boulders on the beach. Why are they tumbling onto the beach? What are they made of? Isabelle tells us it’s all thanks to the tobacco industry in Liverpool dumping tonnes of wet leaves in Formby in the 1950s.

National Lottery Money and European money has helped to fund the work.
