Discover Wyre

Wyre Council commissioned This Great Adventure, a digital arts company, to create a series of trails to allow people to experience the history, heritage and culture of Wyre in an innovative ditigal way. Hear local voices, see film footage of our landscapes and people, and enjoy fascinating stories about the Wyre district.

The trails include the Cleveleys Mythic Coast AR trail, Finding Fleetwood, Garstang Heritage trail and Fleetwood Festive AR trail.

Take a trip down to Cleveleys promenade, home to a stunning series of sculptures known as the Mythic Coast. Once there download the Wyre AR Trails app to experience the seafront in an entirely new way. 

These five striking structures are from The Sea Swallow book, a specially commissioned children's story written by Gareth Thompson and illustrated by Hannah Magee. Available on the App Store and Google Play, the free app allows users to reveal enhanced scenes of sounds and sights through their phone and experience the tale in a new and creative way. 

Finding Fleetwood is a collection of digital storytelling trails and experiences about Fleetwood, created and told by the town's people. The trails explore the town's history and culture through the eyes of the people who live in, work in and visit Fleetwood. 

Browse through a selection of memories sparked by old Fleetwood postcards, listen to stories about the town through the collections of Fleetwood museum, explore the nature as you walk along Fleetwood's extraordinary coastline, find out about local artists and much more.

Garstang Heritage trail offers visitorsd a new way to discover more about the historic market town. Discover the early history of Garstang and find out how the town got its name.

Visit various hotspots around town to discover amazing pictures, films, audio recordings, and written pieces about the heritage of Garstang.

The Fleetwood Festive AR trail returns every November in line with the town's Christmas light switch on. It's great fun for the whole family and kids will receive a prize once they've completed the trail.

The trail follows the story of Nic Clause who is enjoying his stay in Fleetwood. He has arrived for a peaceful holiday with his brother before the busiest time of the year, until something happens that puts all his hard work at risk. Now he needs your help to save Christmas before it’s too late.
