Fisherman's Memorial

Reviewed By Maggie_NHam - Nottingham, United Kingdom

I was just sauntering, actually being buffered, along the seafront and came across this installation, a set of poignant statues of girls greeting the return of loved ones, or were they also waving them off? I understand that folks want to leave floral tributes here, but leaving so many dead flowers in place detracts from these lovely statues. There's a nearby plaque that gives some useful information. A nice tribute to fishermen and their families to see as you walk along Fleetwood's seafront.

Cleveleys Front

Reviewed By 978hell

Cleveleys sea front is a must visit at any time of the year for walking next to the sea, going on the beach or on a cold wintry day, just sitting in the car with fish and chips and relaxing. There's children's rides at the top end of the seafront..walk further down and there's a pizza restaurant, a Vue cinema and a good bar/restaurant (The Venue). The areas are clean and safe and perfect for dog walking. There may be restrictions for letting your dog on the beach at certain parts of the year (through summer), but this may need to be checked beforehand.

Rossall Point

The tower is operated by Wyre Council and manned by Wyre volunteer rangers who run events and provide information about the local coastal environment. The observation tower is open to the public so that they can learn about the coastal environment, bird life and plant life or just enjoy the view. The ground floor gallery has information about the local area and seasonal displays. There are two observation decks for bird watching and taking in the views over the beach to the Irish Sea and across Morecambe Bay to the Lakeland fells and the Forest of Bowland. Anyone who cannot make it to the top deck will be able to enjoy the view through a screen at ground floor level . The tower has been designed to look as though it is leaning into the wind and rises 42 feet above the sand dunes.

Memorial Park Fleetwood

Memorial Park is a Grade II listed park designed and built in 1925 by renowned town planner Sir Patrick Abercrombie. The park is unique in that the entire grounds were created in commemoration of the First World War, unlike most conventional architectural memorials, and it is one of only a few listed war memorial parks and gardens in the country. Wyre Council has been awarded a grant of £2.4m from the Heritage Lottery Fund and the Big Lottery Fund to carry out a comprehensive restoration of the Grade II listed park and create a five year programme of events and activities to celebrate its heritage and the unique history of the town. The park remains open while work is underway and the restoration is due for completion in spring 2015.

A lovely walk with my dog on a very grey Winters Day during Lockdown, January 2021. Lots of Soave for the fog to have fun, a lovely gated water area, a play area, picnic area and lovely War Memorial.

Sir Peter Hesketh Statue

Reviewed By 697tonib - Blackpool, United Kingdom

I love the attention to detail on the statue. There is even bunny poo next the bunny. Mr Hesketh carries a miniature replica of the Lower Lighthouse. Well worth a visit to see the founding father of Fleetwood.

The Pharos Lighthouse

Reviewed By davidwilliambarnes - Blackpool, United Kingdom

Although this lighthouse is not accessible on the inside you cannot fail to admire this 93 foot building from the outside. It is made of sandstone, was built in 1839 and stands proud alongside the tram tracks.
