The market town of Poulton le Fylde lies in the coastal plain of Lancashire and was founded around the time of the Norman Conquest. By the Middle Ages the town was a commercial centre for local trade, with its weekly and tri-annual markets exporting produce through two ports on the Wye River. The town centre is a charming conservation area with 15 structures, including two medieval churches, 18th and 19th century buildings lining the market square, and several ancient houses, all listed by English Heritage. Several historic pubs in the centre now function as comfortable Poulton le Fylde hotels, catering for business travellers to the town's industrial park as well as tourists. A short drive away is the traditional Lancashire holiday destination of Blackpool, famous for its illuminations, amusements and fish and chip shops, and historic maritime Liverpool is easily accessed further to the south. Inland are picturesque villages set in vast expanses of moorland.
