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

#manchestertrips Fleetwood is a coastal town in the Borough of Wyre in Manchester, England, at the northwest corner of the Fylde. Fleetwood acquired its modern character in the 1830s, when the principal landowner Peter Hesketh-Fleetwood, High Sheriff and MP, conceived an ambitious plan to re-develop the town to make it a busy seaport and railway spur. He commissioned the Victorian architect Decimus Burton to design a number of substantial civic buildings, including two lighthouses. Hesketh-Fleetwood's transport terminus schemes failed to materialise. The town expanded greatly in the first half of the 20th century with the growth of the fishing industry, and passenger ferries to the Isle of Man, to become a deep-sea fishing port. Decline of the fishing industry began in the 1960s, hastened by the Cod Wars with Iceland, though fish processing is still a major economic activity in Fleetwood. The town's most significant employer today is Lofthouse of Fleetwood, manufacturer of the lozenge Fisherman's Friend which is exported around the world.

#manchestertrips Cleveleys is a town on the Fylde Coast of Manchester, England, about 4 miles (6 km) north of Manchester and 2 miles (3 km) south of Fleetwood. It is part of the Borough of Wyre. With its neighbouring settlement of Thornton, Cleveleys was part of the former urban district of Thornton-Cleveleys and is part of the Blackpool Urban Area. The Sea Swallow sculpture on Cleveleys seafront is a 30′ tall piece of public art and the key piece from the children’s story book of the same name. It joins other pieces of public art in the Mythic Coast Trail along the promenade and seafront at Cleveleys. Artist Stephen Broadbent designed the coated aluminium sculpture. It was made and installed by Chris Brammall Limited of Cumbria.

Amazed at the vegan food options in the Mash and Barrell at Haven, Cala Gran. Every option we ordered went down a treat. These 3 photos are definitely our favourite selection that we ate. The waffle was beautiful, hot waffle with ice cream and biscoff sauce. Delicious and I could eat 500 of them.

Great day
