Nice walk, easy to follow route, good pork pies in Poulton...

A straightforward Slow Way that follows the wide promenade north from Blackpool to Cleveleys....

At Todderstaff Farm a narrow track next to the caravans led to a farm track where there was a slightly intimidating “Stop” sign. After crossing the railway another farm track became a field path parallel to the railway. This was fine, but after the traditional narrow bridge in the corner, the diagonal public footpath across the field had been obliterated by crops and I had to walk around the side towards the tennis courts. There was then a bit of rough land alongside the tennis courts to reach a rickety stile onto a good path around a warehouse to the football stadium....

The line may not be perfectly drawn, but it doesn’t matter - simply follow the sea and have a marvellous time!...

It was a lovely quiet walk, passing the occasional dog walker, runner or fisher person and got the tram back from Cleveleys to Blackpool at the end....

We started at Blackpool North train station then headed downhill along the route towards the sea front. After a couple of miles the route gently curves in front of the main tram station and then back towards St Annes....

Turn into Linden Place opposite the hospice, turn right along a pavement (not road) to cut through to the end of Edmonton Place, then use the footpath next to the white fence, onto the sports field. From here, the route follows a B road with a pavement into Carleton, where there are shops and a pub. After the subway below the main road, a footpath crosses the disused Poulton to Fleetwood railway, which you can read more about, as you cross it again, going into Thornton....

This route is almost entirely along the seaside promenade and is surfaced the entire way. There are benches, shelters, and toilets (unisex with individual doors, 40p in Blackpool or 30p further along, also accessible) dotted along throughout the route, and also bus and tram stops (although the tramline moves inland north of Little Bispham)....

It crosses Stanley Park which is an excellent park with an Art Deco café, gardens and a boating lake, which the route crosses over two wide bridges. The route is slightly let down by a wide kissing gate into the new housing estate, otherwise I think the whole route would have been pretty easy to wheel. The route weaves through pleasant housing and then through Normoss, where there are various facilities, and fields on one side of the road....

This route has several inaccessible sections around Layton and College from grid reference 325370 to 331374. I made a detour and have uploaded and reviewed BlaPou Two as the alternative....

This route goes around the north of St Mary’s Catholic Academy on a track, and then there are more residential streets, and then a track alongside a drainage channel and a fenced field of horses....

Even along the smaller road into St Annes, the sea view blocked by dunes, until the pier is reached. You could also walk on top of the dunes, but the plotted BlaLyt One route is as described here....

This very flat walk can more or less be completed along the sands with minimal time spent on the roads. The sands and dunes are easy to walk on and of course there are several opportunities for an ice cream or cup of tea....
