A Sunday stroll at Lytham St. Anne's

The neighbouring towns of Lytham and St-Anne's-on-the-Sea have gradually increased in size and grown together to form the seaside resort known as Lytham St.Anne's. The towns are situated on the Fylde coast, south of Blackpool at the point where the coastline turns east to form the estuary of the River Ribble leading inland to Preston. St Anne's is situated on the northern side of the turning and, like Blackpool, overlooks the Irish Sea, whereas Lytham is on the eastern side and overlooks the Ribble Estuary.

After a late lunch in one of the many town centre restaurants we strolled back along the esplanade as darkness began to fall. Not the most spectacular of sunsets to finish off the day, but all in all a very enjoyable winter afternoon stroll. 

Thanks for visiting, hope you've enjoyed the photos!
