Just a few miles away from Blackpool resides Fleetwood, a coastal town in the Borough of Wyre, Lancashire, with a population of 26,232, as per the latest available data.
If you’re looking for a charming Victorian seaside town with scenic views and a rich maritime history, Fleetwood is a great choice for a short getaway.
The town was originally planned to become a busy seaport and railway junction in the 1830s by Sir Peter Hesketh-Fleetwood - who also named the town after himself.
Fleetwood is also the only town in Britain where trams run the full length of the main street, sharing road space with cars.
The Blackpool Tramway runs from Blackpool to Fleetwood along The Fylde in Lancashire.
