The route is around the Wyre Estuary a beautiful and often overlooked area of Lancashire. We start at Fleetwood and take the ferry across the river Wyre to Knott End. We then head south, along the river, by the sea defences and salt marsh to Shard Bridge.Once back on the west side of the estuary we head up to The Wyre Estuary Country Park before turning inland and crossing the peninsula close to the promenade.. We will then catch a Blackpool tram back to where we parked.
