Fleetwood is a town and civil parish within the Wyre district of Lancashire, England, lying at the northwest corner of the Fylde. It had a population of 25,939 people at the 2011 census. The site of the town has been continuously inhabited since the Middle Ages. Fleetwood acquired its modern character in the 1830s, when the principal landowner Peter Hesketh-Fleetwood, High Sheriff and MP, conceived an ambitious plan to re-develop the town to make it a busy seaport and railway spur. He commissioned the distinguished Victorian architect Decimus Burton to design a number of substantial civic buildings, including two lighthouses. Hesketh-Fleetwood's transport terminus schemes failed to materialise. The town expanded greatly in the first half of the 20th century with the growth of the UK fishing industry, and passenger ferries to the Isle of Man to become a deep-sea fishing port.

Totally fallen in love with Fleetwood it's so clean everywhere, the Council do a good job, it's a lovely walk along the beach and prom with lots of original Victorian touches around the area.. A beautiful inland lighthouse located in front of the the original grand Euston hotel which in its heyday must have been an imposing landmark on the front.. Not a lot for kids other than a lovely beach and play area but it's a great place with lots of little cafes and snackeries

The ferry is both a pleasant little excursion from Fleetwood and a useful link for those wanting to get the bus to or from Lancaster or to cycle Northwards along the coast. The ferry carries passengers, cycles, prams and normally wheelchairs. However at present due to covid-19, wheelchair users are being advised not to use the ferry unless accompanied by capable companions as the crew cannot assist with boarding and disembarking. Check operating times, especially if planning to travel between Fleetwood and Lancaster by the ferry and bus, as it cannot operate at certain times due to low tides. Those who remember the old open boat from years ago please note that the new ferry is fully enclosed: it is not possible to stand or sit outside any more.

The tower is operated by Wyre Council and manned by Wyre volunteer rangers who run events and provide information about the local coastal environment. The observation tower is open to the public so that they can learn about the coastal environment, bird life and plant life or just enjoy the view. The ground floor gallery has information about the local area and seasonal displays. There are two observation decks for bird watching and taking in the views over the beach to the Irish Sea and across Morecambe Bay to the Lakeland fells and the Forest of Bowland. Anyone who cannot make it to the top deck will be able to enjoy the view through a screen at ground floor level . The tower has been designed to look as though it is leaning into the wind and rises 42 feet above the sand dunes.
the bird watching just before sun set what a sight waders on the beech as the tide comes in on a beautiful may evening its a real treat in such part of north blackpool.

Highbury Stadium is a football stadium in Fleetwood, Lancashire, England and the home of Fleetwood Town Football Club.
Had the most amazing night at ftfc party night. The food was to die for , Michelin star worthy easily ,and the artist was the best tribute Motown act I’ve ever seen. I’d like to thank the bar staff, the kitchen staff and especially the head chef Kane Parker who went above and beyond to make sure everything was just perfect on the night. What a team !!! Will definitely be booking for a lot more people next year if you organise the event again. Well done ftfc, smashed it!!! Merry Christmas ????????????

Memorial Park is a Grade II listed park designed and built in 1925 by renowned town planner Sir Patrick Abercrombie. The park is unique in that the entire grounds were created in commemoration of the First World War, unlike most conventional architectural memorials, and it is one of only a few listed war memorial parks and gardens in the country. Wyre Council has been awarded a grant of £2.4m from the Heritage Lottery Fund and the Big Lottery Fund to carry out a comprehensive restoration of the Grade II listed park and create a five year programme of events and activities to celebrate its heritage and the unique history of the town. The park remains open while work is underway and the restoration is due for completion in spring 2015.
A lovely walk with my dog on a very grey Winters Day during Lockdown, January 2021. Lots of Soave for the fog to have fun, a lovely gated water area, a play area, picnic area and lovely War Memorial.

Located on the corner of the promenade in Fleetwood and very handy for the Marine Hall, which is famous for its shows and local events, you will find The Mount. Historically the pub was built in 1896 with 50 bedrooms which are now flats. Winston Churchill and the Beatles are among the famous names to have stayed here. Nowadays this lovely Grade II listed building has retained much of its old world character, high ceilings, wood panelling and art deco features. With food served daily including a traditional roast dinner on Sundays, we are sure you'll enjoy your visit. The pub also boasts a large function room and a games room for those looking to relax with a drink and have some friendly competition.
Literally the best pub in Fleetwood. Staff super friendly and all of them well presented as you should expect from a pub chain such as greene king. New menu with great HOME MADE FOOD!!. Hard to find nowadays. Decor modern and almost brand new. Drinks are a tad dear but keeps out the riff raff. Well usually the idea. Footy days are mental(in a good way) as sports bar is massive with pool table and 2 x dart boards but it's not intimidating and dingy. Good for families and all. Special shout out to a girl named Danny who couldn't do enough and who must be the manager sophie who made sure me and my mum felt special. Cheers team mount!!!
