Lytham St Annes

Coastal Contrasts

Lytham St Annes - Introduce your friends and family to the great British tradition – a trip to the seaside - five miles of sandy beaches. Enjoy building sandcastles, eating fish and chips, candy floss, riding a donkey, hire a deck chair and take in the fresh sea air. Lytham St Annes is a coastal gem and is located three miles from Blackpool on the Ribble Estuary which is one of the most important wildlife sites in Britain with more than 250,000 migratory wildfowl stopping off in the Ribble Estuary each year.

The Ribble Coast and Wetlands certainly has a contrasting coastline that each day has something different to offer. It includes vast sun-baked sands, windswept sand dunes on both sides of the estuary that are rich in butterflies, moths and other insects, cattle grazed marshes and flocks of wading birds scurrying along the strandline as the waves ebb and flow. The extensive saltmarsh and mudflats revealed at low tide, give the impression of a desolate wasteland when in reality the mud supports multitudes of small burrowing creatures, which in turn provide food for tens of thousands of birds.

Well maintained parks and gardens and picturesque countryside, we have the right ingredients for a memorable visit. Our track record in the prestigious horticultural contest, North West in Bloom, is a clear indication of excellence in horticulture from communities across the borough. Tennis, crown green bowling, miniature golf and even croquet are available in our parks throughout the summer months.
