Welcome to Little Altcar

Little Altcar is a small village located in the Sefton borough of Merseyside, England. The village is situated on the coast of the Irish Sea and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. Little Altcar is a peaceful and quiet place, making it an ideal location for those who want to escape the hustle and bustle of city life. The village has a rich history, with evidence of human habitation dating back to the Bronze Age.

One of the most notable features of Little Altcar is its stunning coastline. The village is home to Altcar Beach, a long stretch of sandy beach that is popular with locals and visitors alike. The beach is backed by sand dunes and offers stunning views of the Irish Sea. It is a great place to relax, take a walk, or enjoy a picnic with family and friends. The beach is also a popular spot for water sports such as windsurfing and kiteboarding.

Little Altcar is also home to several historic buildings and landmarks. One of the most notable is St. Michael's Church, a Grade II listed building that dates back to the 12th century. The church is a beautiful example of Norman architecture and features a stunning stained glass window. Other historic buildings in the village include Altcar Hall, a 19th-century mansion that is now used as a conference center, and Altcar Training Camp, a former military training facility that is now used for civilian purposes.
