Kirkham received a Manor Charter in 1296 and Singleton is recorded in the Doomsday Book. Surrounded by farmland, the Fylde's villages have their own special attraction. Elswick's 17th century non-conformist Chapel is the oldest in Lancashire. Fashion, foods and fine antiques are found in the independent shops which line pleasant thoroughfares such as Clifton Street in Lytham and St Annes Square. There will often be street entertainment to provide a truly enticing atmosphere and you can replenish your energy at a restaurant, cafe or just a welcome bench surrounded by colourful and fragrant floral displays.
Car parking is plentiful and care-free and buses stop right on the doorstep.
During the season the No.1 travels from Blackpool right along the promenade - the most direct route for visitors. Take a trip to the shops in smaller towns and villages throughout the Fylde Countryside. Kirkham is a fine example with a market over 700 years old. Help preserve this tradition whilst you take advantage of wonderful bargains and the 'friendliness of the Fylde'. As the home of sand-yachting we can give you a chance to try out this exciting sport for yourself.
