Following a multi-million pound investment, the Fairhaven area of the Fylde has become a magnet for day trippers over an uncertain summer. A new mile-long walkway between the lake and Lytham Green - called Church Scar - is fantastic and gives amazing views of the Granny’s Bay beauty spot. The Lake itself also boasts a new sea wall defence completed this year, the Spitfire memorial monument and its north end, a brand new brilliant crazy golf course, two adventure playgrounds, a wildlife reserve where thousands of migrating birds can be seen and a cafe.

The Open has been played here many times in the past at Royal Lytham & St Annes, and its qualifying rounds take place at The Old Links, Fairhaven and Green Drive.
St Annes is also home to a number of unique events, including in its Carnival at the start of July, through to a music and arts festival in August and culminating in the International Kite Festival in September - attended by thousands every year.

Blackpool attractions
Just a short drive or bus ride and a few tram stops are amazing attractions in Blackpool. From the Pleasure Beach to the Zoo, three amazing piers, theatres and the night life, there is something for everyone. Best to book in advance for the attractions though, it can get VERY busy.
