Lancashire Coastal Way - Freckleton to Lytham St Annes

View across the Ribble estuary

A 10 mile walk along the Lancashire Coastal Way from Freckleton to Lytham.

The Lancashire Coastal way is a 137 mile footpath following the coastline between Merseyside and Cumbria. The starting point is at the little village of Freckleton which lies midway between Preston and Lytham St Annes on the Ribble Estuary. This first section through to Lytham follows the estuary along the salt marshes and alongside the Warton airbase. Views can be seen across the estuary towards Southport and beyond are the hills of Wales. A fine days walk that takes one from river to coast.

Stormy scenes at Blackpool

The route goes through one of the principle holiday resort areas in England and the entire distance is walked along concrete promenades with access to the beach when the tide is out. There are numerous points of interest including the famous piers and tower at Blackpool and the constant trams that clank along the seafront.
