2025 Fylde District Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

#europeonbudget Lytham Windmill is situated on Lytham Green in the coastal town of Lytham St Annes, Lancashire, England. It is of the type known as a tower mill and was designed for grinding wheat and oats to make flour or bran. Since commercial milling on the site ceased in 1921 the mill has belonged to the town and is operated by Fylde Borough Council, who open it to the public during the summer. The mill was built on Lytham marshes around 1805 on land leased by the local landowner and squire to miller Richard Cookson. Some of the mill's machinery, including a 150-year-old mainshaft of Baltic oak, was salvaged from other local mills. The plinth which now surrounds the mill was added later for safety reasons. The original smoky drying kiln, once adjacent to the mill, was moved to Kiln Street after pressure from well-to-do local residents in the growing town. The surrounding land was later levelled and grassed to form a ribbon green between the houses and the sea, in the middle of which stands the mill.

Lytham on the Fylde coast is famous for its long beach , windmills and beautiful town centre but just a short drive from the seafront and you will find yourself in the equally interesting Lytham Hall Park. A walk around the grounds here is a great way to spend a warm summer’s afternoon as you walk around the acres of parkland and forest. The hall itself is well worth a visit and is a fine example of a Georgian Manor House. #park #manorhouse

Every year the Lancashire town of Lytham hosts 5 nights of music and celebration as part of its Lytham festival. World class artists such as Shania Twain, George Ezra and Rod Stewart have brought their acts to the Fylde coast over the years and in 2025 Justin Timberlake and Alanis Morissette will be added to that list. The festival itself has a relaxed atmosphere and with a capacity of only 20,000 and plenty of space those who want to avoid overcrowding can do. In addition there is a wide variety of food and drink available to suit all tastes #music #festival -#Lytham
