About this walk
A flat, easy coastal stroll along the Lytham seafront, perfect to pair with a ride on the 11. The path follows the prom past the wide green with its famous white windmill, then on into Lytham’s café-lined centre.
With the Ribble estuary on one side and Lytham’s elegant streets on the other, it is a gentle hour’s walk that you can do one way and catch the bus back, no car needed.
