Inspiration for a great day out Of course it’s not all about our events, sometimes it’s nice just to have a day out. If you’re looking for ideas of places to visit this summer, we’ve got so much to enjoy in Wyre. Here’s our top tips: Wyre Estuary Country Park, Stanah Don’t miss our award winning park! With an innovative children’s play area and woods to make a den in, it’s the perfect place for children to enjoy and make memories. There’s an exciting woodland and geology explorers trail as well as a network of accessible pathways by the breathtaking Wyre Estuary.

Oh I do like to be beside the seaside!

What summer holiday is complete without a trip to the beach? Come a take a look at the newly reopened promenade in Rossall.

Fresh from the completion of its £63 million defence scheme, the new seawall at Rossall continues the story of The Sea Swallow, cementing its place on the Mythic Coast.

Beginning at Cleveleys, visitors can follow an artwork and poetry trail from the popular children’s book until the story ends at Rossall Point Observation Tower. Characters from The Sea Swallow, including a giant stainless steel seashell and sea ogre carved from limestone, can also be spotted along the picturesque walk. To discover more take a look at our Wyre Coastline Cleveleys to Fleetwood guide.

This is achieved by connecting with residents and many organisations working in Fleetwood, and also by supporting suggestions for new groups and events.

We always try to present a positive message ... "try something new", "get involved" rather than dwell on the negative. Our website healthierfleetwood.co.uk and social media spreads the word, but we love talking to residents, face to face, to hear their ideas and hold monthly public meetings and a weekly drop-in at Fleetwood Library.
