Fleetwood
A fishing port town at the northern end of the seafront tram line, with lighthouses designed by Decimus Burton, the renowned Fleetwood Market and ferries.
Fleetwood is a 19th-century planned port town, and it's reachable directly on the Blackpool tram. Its two lighthouses, the Pharos Lighthouse standing tall in the town centre and the Lower Lighthouse on the seafront, were both designed by architect Decimus Burton. Fleetwood Market has over a hundred stalls and is a well-known budget market in Lancashire. From the seafront Marine Hall and the pier you can enjoy views of Morecambe Bay, and a small ferry takes you across to Knott End on the other side. Fleetwood is also the home of Fisherman's Friend throat lozenges.
