Local residents have created and launched a new pathway to better mental and physical health. The Fleetwood Wellbeing Way is a route along the Town’s Esplanade with a series of challenges and tips on staying happier and healthier.
From the original idea to the launch on Saturday 8th August, residents have taken the lead. They’ve been supported by Lancashire Mind, Wyre Council, Lancashire County Council and Healthier Fleetwood.
Fleetwood Wellbeing Way
The route of the Fleetwood Wellbeing way begins and ends with two large signs.
One is opposite the Sea Cadets base by Beach Road. The other opposite The Mount Hotel by Promenade Road, near to the small beach kiosk near the former pier site. In between are the 5 ‘challenge signs’, displayed on the coastal side bus stops.
Five Ways to Wellbeing
Victoria Mitchell is a resident and one of the organisers. She said, “We have taken the ‘Five Ways to Wellbeing’ as our starting point.” These are:
- connect to others,
- be active,
- keep learning,
- take notice and
- give to others.
Victoria added “Along the walk we’ve placed signs with ideas to build resilience, boost wellbeing and improve both mental and physical health.

“When residents and visitors have completed a challenge with their friends and family they’re asked to share it on social media.
“We’d also like to hear ideas for future challenges, to help to create a healthier, supportive and caring community.”
