Fairhaven Lake

Where the River Ribble meets the Irish Sea, Fairhaven Lake is a popular spot with families. The region's RAF connections are underlined by a tremendous Spitfire memorial. An exact replica of a Submarine Spitfire fighter plane is thrust aloft on a supporting pole and plinth.

The footpath on the seaward side makes for a lovely little stroll and a great place to spot the estuary's waders. North Wales is also visible on clear days, whilst there are plenty of spectacular sunsets throughout the year.
