Unfortunately, most of the original site has been destroyed by commercial peat extraction. However, the survey documentation also includes details for another site: Freshfield Lane on the Lancashire coast. Now part of Ainsdale Sand Dunes National Nature Reserve (NNR), it is noted for its mudflats, sand dunes and grassland, and is home to sand lizard, natterjack toad and great crested newt. Managed by Natural England and also part of the Sefton Coast Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).
