Fleetwood - Promenade & Lighthouses

Before you set off on your quest for Captain Codbeard's treasure, there are a few things you need to know...

This Trail is marked as being accessible for both wheelchair and pushchair users - there are one set of steps to navigate on the route but these are easily bypassed and an alternate route is pointed out in the Trail.

Bring your four-legged friends along! Please note that there are some sections in the town centre, so dogs will need to be kept on leads but there are also several parks where they can run free and of course, there's also the promenade section along the beach!

The closest car park to the Trail start point is at the pay and display Custom House Lane (FY7 6BY), which is just a short walk away from the start point. Please be aware though, that there is also free parking at Marine Hall (FY7 6HE) and Central (FY7 6QE) if you don't mind a longer walk to the start.

As you'll be trawling through the town, there are plenty of places to pick up provisions if any team members start to get a big 'hangry'! If you plan to have a picnic, then we would suggest Euston Gardens or Mount Pavilion at the end. There are paid toilets near Euston Gardens and Marine Hall car park.

Also be aware that Fleetwood is the only town in Britain with trams running the full length of its main street, sharing road-space with cars. So please beware of trams as well as cars as you explore the town's streets!

Once your adventure is over, to extend your day why not visit the Fleetwood Museum -  a treasure trove of information about Fleetwood’s maritime past, focusing on its prominence as a fishing port and its Victorian heritage. The museum also features exhibits on the town's founder, Sir Peter Hesketh Fleetwood, and its innovative design as one of the first planned towns of the Victorian era.

You could also get a Tram Ride to Blackpool - Fleetwood's trams connect you to Blackpool, offering scenic rides along the coastline. This is especially enjoyable during Blackpool Illuminations. You could also catch the Fleetwood Ferry to hop over to nearby Knott-End-on-Sea for more coastal exploration.

Or just check out Fleetwood Beach - Accessible near the Coastguard Station, the beach offers sandy dunes and stunning estuary views. Please note the waters here have very strong currents.
