Lytham St Annes combines the best of traditional seaside resorts with elegant Victorian gardens and architecture. The promenade stretches for miles along golden sands, backed by well-maintained parks and gardens bursting with colourful bedding displays. The iconic windmill, built in 1805, stands as a town landmark near the seafront, while Lytham's elegant town centre offers independent shops and cafés. Royal Lytham & St Annes golf course hosts The Open Championship, while the annual kite festival fills the skies with colour.
