Cleveleys, Wyre

Cleveleys is a bustling, traditional seaside resort with a range of popular shops, cafes and restaurants to enjoy as well as picture perfect views of the sea across the Irish sea and miles of golden sands and exhilarating walks along a multi award winning promenade.

Thornton is a pretty village with a range of shops, fine pubs and restaurants and its own little theatre and an 18th Century windmill as well as some picturesque walks around the Wyre Estuary Country Park at Stanah.

Cleveleys Shopping

The main shopping centre is centred around Victoria Road West. Cleveleys has a great selection of places to eat, there are cafes of all kinds along the length of the high street, most of which have outdoor eating facilities.

The Mythic Coastline
Wyre's Mythic Coast Artwork trail brings a magical element to the Cleveleys seafront. Striking sculptures have brought to life The Sea Swallow story - a specially commissioned children's story book that combines local folklore, myth and legend about Wyre's coastline. See the 10 metre high ‘Sea Swallow’ sculpture, discover the Shipwrecks memorial to all the ships lost on the Fylde Coast from 1643 to 2008, delight in the partially submerged ‘Mary's Shell’ on the sands and take a selfie with the ‘Ogre’ 

Wyre's history and folklore has been brought to life in an illustrated book that will delight children and adults alike. This is a magical tale based on Singleton Thorpe, a village drowned off Cleveleys in the 16th Century, mixed with real life stories from the people of Wyre. Why not walk the Mythic Coastline and see the sculptures along the way! To purchase a copy of the book contact 01253 887445.
