Fleetwood & Wyre

Fleetwood is a Victorian planned town at the mouth of the River Wyre, with lighthouses designed by Decimus Burton, a long fishing heritage and a well known market. A small passenger ferry crosses the estuary to Knott End. Inland, Poulton-le-Fylde is a historic market town, and Garstang, on the River Wyre and the Lancaster Canal, was the world's first Fairtrade Town. Uplifting stories from the coast and countryside of Wyre are collected below.
