Have you thought of Hightown?

Hightown, located between Formby and Crosby may not be on the top of your shopping list, although perhaps it should be!

For those of you who haven’t thought of living in Hightown before now may be a good time to start giving it some thought.

Hightown has long been the sleepy village located between Formby and Crosby with one road in and one road out.  Those who live there tend to keep quiet about the advantages and let the people who don’t know major on the disadvantages of this under-appreciated jewel.

It’s true that there are no supermarkets and schools in Hightown, but there is a great choice in either Formby or Crosby and when was the last time you walked to the supermarket.  The Merseyrail train service stops in Hightown and from here access to Liverpool and Southport is every bit as easy as from Formby or Crosby although it is likely that you will have a much shorter walk to the Station. There is of course the Hightown Pub & Kitchen where you can meet your friends or enjoy a meal.

Hightown is a small community surrounded by open countryside and the wide sandy beaches.  From here you can enjoy endless walks and open spaces and often meet nobody on your way.   If you would like to live somewhere that you recognise your neighbours and don’t feel that you anonymous in suburbia then we think that Hightown may well be for you.

At the heart of the village is the Hightown Club which is sports a social centre including cricket, football, rugby, tennis, squash and bowls and helps to reinforce the community.

Hightown is definitely “Marmite”, that you will either love or you won’t,  and we know that the people who live there do not want everyone to come!   The writer lived in Elmcroft for many years and has many happy memories of the friendships developed there back in the 1980’s!

To get a sense of the community have a look at the Hightown Village community page on Facebook.
