CoastYou are in: Lancashire > Coast > The Mount  The MountHead up the hill to the right, following the path up to where the Mount building stands. Take a look at that view! We’ll be getting a bit closer to the sea as we continue with our walk, so don’t worry about leaving this view behind.  The tides used to be so high that they came all the way up to the Mount, but the tides changed over the years, so in the 1920s and 1930s the reclaimed land was re-developed into a typical holiday town seafront. The Marine Hall was built, alongside gardens, a bowling green, a boating lake and a golf course.  The Marine Hall is the building with the domed roof and is the main entertainment venue in the town. It’s also home to the annual beer festival. The Beatles once played here, in 1962, and when John Lennon was a young boy he came on holiday to Fleetwood to stay with his Aunt. On your right you’ll see an opening to the Marine Hall Gardens. Carry on towards the sea front, either on the road or through the gardens. last updated: 03/04/2008 at 12:45 You are in: Lancashire > Coast > The Mount
