Apex Cycleworks Café

Highlight • Cycleway

Lytham’s new and first cycle cafe and bike repair workshop is proving a big hit – but the good news is, you don’t have to wear lycra to visit!
Laura Welton and James White got their heads together to create APEX Cycleworks in June, and they’ve not looked back since after becoming a popular spot for both locals and tourists.

With James’ expertise as a cycle technician, the pair wanted to open a cycle cafe with adjoining bike workshop to act as a hub for the cycling community.

Blackpool Tower

Highlight • Monument

An iconic Lancashire landmark, at the time of its construction in 1894 Blackpool Tower was the tallest human-built structure in the British Empire at 519 feet (158 m). It wears its primary influence on its sleeve, it's not just Parisians that will notice a passing resemblance to the Eiffel Tower.

Today, Blackpool Tower is Grade I-listed. Glamorous events and performances still take place in its ballroom, whilst the Tower Eye viewing platform gives a unique vantage of Blackpool’s seafront.

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

The Lancashire Coastal way is a 137 mile footpath following the coastline between Merseyside and Cumbria. The starting point is at the little village of Freckleton which lies midway between Preston and Lytham St Annes on the Ribble Estuary. This first section through to Lytham follows the estuary along the salt marshes and alongside the Warton airbase. Views can be seen across the estuary towards Southport and beyond are the hills of Wales. A fine days walk that takes one from river to coast
