Starting at Blackpool's North Pier, the Blackpool to Fleetwood Coastal route is clearly signed all the way.
Blackpool is a great place to spend an afternoon, with plenty to keep young and old amused. From the pleasure beach and its range of rides, to the Blackpool Tower, there is a wide range of exciting activities.
In this section of Blackpool, there are a number of different levels of promenade, those near the sea and others that are higher up near the tram route. This ride follows the higher levels, as it offers wider views.
Once past the Red Bank Tram Stop the path follows a wide stretch of grassland down to Little Bispham, where the tram veers away from the sea on its way to Fleetwood.
Along the way you'll pass Cleveleys which is a good place to stop off for a bite to eat or refreshments - you'll find seaside chip shops, cafes and bars.
On arriving in the Victorian seaside town of Fleetwood, the route takes you round to the river mouth of the River Wyre and the entrance to the docks.
Fleetwood is a lovely town to explore with beaches, a stately pavillion, playgrounds and gardens all within easy reach. The Fleetwood Market is one of the largest undercover markets in the North West and not to be missed. If you want to extend your journey, you can also catch a ferry across the Wyre estuary to the small village of Knott End.
