Lytham Windmill

We had a lovely self-isolating, socially distanced walk down the front at Lytham, looking at the beautiful Windmill, the expansive Lytham Green and the RNLI station and reading local history information boards. We walked from the RNLI station down the boardwalk to the sea edge. It's a very blustery day today, great for clearing the mind. Lots of small family groups were enjoying themselves, kite-flying, dog exercising, buying ice-cream and queueing at the hotels that have been able to serve takeaways safely (soft drinks, beer in plastic pint glasses etc.). A lovely place to potter about and explore. Lytham front has a muddy, moss area with pools and plants that are adapted to this environment. Explore safely from the boardwalk and watch the swallows and swifts catching insects.

Fantastic walk with the dog and great place to have a panic. Vantage car show was on when we visit

Nice enough place. Interesting information but not a lot to see. There wasnt much detail on how the windmill worked (or would have worked) and how they ground corn and what it was used for, which felt odd. They tried to seem to be giving a picture of how life was when the kill would have been working. I would have preferred more detail on where the corn came from, how it was brought to and into the windmill, who the output was sold to etc. There wasn't enough information about the workings of the windmill itself in my view which was a shame.

We walked past and took a few pictures but the tour isn't open until Wednesday to Sundays with the building next door which is the old boat rescue house.

Lovely walk none the less and we even took a kite to fly after being at the Kite festival just up the road, amazing air time here.

Great area for walks. Running or cycling. Very tranquil place with great views

Highly recommend compact historical small museum about Windmill and hard work times from 1805

Great little site to see whilst visiting Lytham St Anne's.!! Historical windmill that is still working too date, its original function was too grind all the local grain for all the bead makers in the area ..

Spectacular sunrise this morning. Just some photographers and dog walkers around. Great views across the Ribble estuary. Well worth getting up for.
