Lytham St Annes
Lytham St. Annes is one of the North West’s favourite places to live. It’s shoulder to shoulder with the energetic seaside resort of Blackpool, but along with its twin town of Lytham, it couldn’t be more different. Blackpool has the Pleasure Beach and Lytham St. Annes has the Royal Golf Course. A new home here really does give you the best of both worlds, seaside fun and family entertainment in Blackpool, and pretty residential streets and upmarket shopping in Lytham. The two are separated by the Blackpool Airport Enterprise Zone, the local hub which has brought business, commerce and employment to the area.
