Fleetwood, Lancashire

There's lots to see and do in Lancashire. A hot air balloon flight may be perfect for a birthday gift or special celebration.

The seaside and market town of Fleetwood is across the northern-most point of the Fylde Peninsular and at the estuary of the River Wyre. It is reached from the coast road from Lytham (south) of the peninsular and passing along the front (“Golden Mile”) at Blackpool, then Thornton and Cleveleys, to Fleetwood.

The crescent shaped Euston Hotel close to the promenade and opposite the Lifeboat station was once the terminus of the rail link from London (Euston) to Fleetwood, and is now the terminus of the tram service to Blackpool South. Once a busy fishing port, Fleetwood now handles regular freight and seasonal passenger services. One of the three original lighthouses remains and is close to the Euston Hotel.

Privately owned craft are berthed in the marina close to the busy Freeport Shopping Complex. The Marine Hall is close to the beach and the Grown Green Bowling area. It is used for sales of antiques and hobby goods. The promenade follows the golf course at Rossall Point. Rossall Public School and its grounds are south of Fleetwood.
