Lytham Windmill & Lytham Green
Lytham Windmill
An elegant seaside town south of Blackpool, where a white windmill stands on a long seaside green, with cafés and boutiques lining the streets.
Lytham is the eastern half of “Lytham St Annes,” with a quieter, more refined feel than Blackpool. Its landmark is the white windmill built in 1805, now a small museum open in summer. In front of it, Lytham Green stretches about 1.6 km along the Ribble estuary, perfect for walks, picnics and watching the sunset. The town centre has Victorian streets, independent cafés and delis, and in summer it hosts the large Lytham Festival music event. The Royal Lytham St Annes Golf Club, a course on the level of The Open Championship, is also nearby. It's about 30 minutes from Blackpool by bus or train.
