LYTHAM ST ANNES

PEACEFUL LYTHAM ST ANNES

The first time I visited Lytham was when I was having a holiday in Preston, on 30 November, 2019.

I took a local bus from Preston Bus Station – which took about 45 minutes ride to this seaside resort.

Lytham, is actually a seaside resort on the Flyde coast of Lancashire England, south of Blackpool on the Ribble estuary.

It is a peaceful resort comprises of park and gardens and half-timbered houses.

Here, there are excellent shops, an attractive Promenade and of course, the best golf course in England.

Lytham is a wealthy area with residents' earnings among the highest in Northern England.

Highlight include historical places like Lytham Windmill and Lytham Hall, located at the coastal areas.

Lytham Windmill is a must visit place – forms as a museum hosts different exhibition displays organised by the Lytham Heritage Group.

Meanwhile, the Lytham Hall is a historic house known as the “finest georgian house” in Lancashire. This house is a host to a courtyard, which acts as a tea room – booking for weddings.

The Green, a strip of grass running between the shore and the main coastal road, is a notable Lytham landmark – comprising of the windmill and Old Lifeboat House Museum. The Green overlooks the estuary of the River Ribble and the Welsh mountains.

Lytham was founded around 600 BC – the economy was dependent on fishing and shrimping, until the advent of tourism and seaside healthy cures.

Lytham is a location of the Foulnaze cockle fishery.

St Annes is only 30 minutes ride from Lytham – is also host miles of beautiful beach. It is quintessentially British, with everything from ice cream, vans to donkey rides. It is popular with its charming Victorian Pier and elegant parks and gardens. Unfortunately, I did not get to visit St Annes due to heavy rain - as our .

bus by-passed this place.

It is recommended a one-day tour is sufficient to visit Lytham St Annes.
