Great replica of a spitfire in a lovely setting. Worth the short drive from Blackpool just to see it.

Beautiful scenic area fantastic facilities

We visited just as the sun shared its final rays of the day. The awe-inspiring spitfire shone as if emerging from a mission. It was breathtaking and in a park of such natural beauty and so close to the sea. It is a perfect celebration of those who flew them, lost their lives and save this amazing country.

Lovely well kept gardens and lake.

Superb memorial park. Well maintained and a very good place with activities to relax or exercise. Dogs on leads allowed.

Very good Spitfire V replica. There are good information boards around the base.

Let us never forget those brave men who have aloud us to enjoy the freedom we now enjoy. I personally feel very very privileged to have known a Spitfire Pilot, so thank you all. This is such a fitting tribute.

Wow, History in the making. We wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for those that played there part. Male and female. Tough mentally.

There's a full size spitfire replica here on a high mount and several information boards giving some very sombre information about Fighter Command, Bomber Command and Coastal Command. The aircraft has a pilot figure in it and looking up to the aircraft gives you a sense of scale and makes a real impact. It's all very simple but makes you pause and remember. I'm a sucker for anything to do with WW2 especially aviation related, so I am a bit biased, but even so...this is a fitting memorial.

This we came across on our 15k steps walk from just beyond windmill at Lytham up sea front to & around Fair Haven Lake & back again. The park/lake has been renovated & a lovely place. Let's hope it's kept good especially by the public, respect it.

Lovely memorial with lots of information to read

Lovely place. Great walk out along Eastry. Good information around the memorial

A Great Monument to those who fought for this country. I've visited Hanger 42 at Blackpool several times from where this originated and others are based.. Great job guys 👍 If you've not been You need to go. Lest We Forget 🙏 🌹 🙏

This is a public park and boating lake area with wild fowl and sea views with walkways,toilets and cafe plus icecream stalls. Tennis courts.Public transport near, short walk, car parking on public road,or car parks available. Popular spot with families and children. Better when its dry and sunny goodshoes needed there are some park benches around and i have seen wheelchairs going round theres lowther gardens further down at lytham plenty for the quiet people around, plus lytham hall.

Lovely place for a stroll and a spot of lunch

Impressive memorial in an awesome setting. Beautiful lake and sea front promenade.

it was a lovley sunny day and a great walk around the lake lovley to see the spitfire memorial

Fantastic memorial Spitfire sits proud high on a pedestal beautiful setting Fairhaven lake lovely day nice visit all round. Cafe open and ice cream kiosk

Nice area next to water

Great place for an overnight stay with a motorhome. Good walk along the sea path and around the lake. £10 for 24 hours or £15 for 48 hours.

Lovely place for a picnic although they do Have a cafe as well plenty of seating to sit and watch the wildlife

A very well presented memorial. Good attendance even though it rained quite heavily. The Hurricane flypast just finished off the service beautiful. Well done to all who organised it.

A beautiful graceful memorial to a young pilot lost during WW2 who's remembered with passion by Lytham St Anne's Spiyfire Display Team and locals. A real eye catching plane to see in the park.

We watched the beacon lighting for the Queens Platinum Jubilee.. Lovely atmosphere even in the rain

When exploring an RSPB site you probably don't expect to come across an exact replica of a World War 2 Spitfire but at Fairhaven Lake that is exactly what you get. The information boards explain the reason for the memorial and the sad history of the original fighter aircraft, funded by locals, and its pilot. There is plenty of free parking a very short walk away as well as two pay and display carparks in the immediate vicinity. The site itself is free to enter and accessible at all times. There are also toilets beside the lake, payable by card or coins they cost 40p and seemed clean enough. Sited within yards of both a lake and the sea (when the tide is in) it is definitely worth exploring the wider area. Be sure to check out the blue plaque on the former house of local celebrity George Formby and take a walk to the White Church where Les Dawson got married. Dogs are welcome and there is a children's playground in the vicinity. There is plenty of grass to enjoy games and picnics as well as benches. There is an RSPB shop and at the other end of the lake you can buy ice creams and refreshments. You can even hire various water craft to get a look at the spitfire from the water. If you are in the area this is a must-see.

This memorial spitfire looks and is amazing if you stand between the plinth and someone taking your photo it can be made to look as if the spitfire is flying just above your head and its location is in a park close to the sea with a children's playground, bowling greens, tennis courts, crazy golf, it also has a large lake that you can hire motor boats on, it also has a lot of history just look at the buildings and read the plaques on them, it's very interesting to see just how old they are and what they were used for. It is also noting that the RSPB have got a shop and information building alongside a small exhibition., looked after by some very pleasant and friendly people 🙂

A beautiful clean space for the family to enjoy. We were able to park on the adjacent road for free and enter the park by the children's activity playground. This opens up to a splendid view of Fairhaven lake which you can stroll around. The Spitfire memorial is an absolute must for anybody interested in the history of that era and must be one of the best in the country. You can picnic here and enjoy the views and afterward stroll along the beach to visit the St Annes attractions.

Found by accident on the way to St.Annes. really nice place for the kids

This place is a wonderful place to walk when the weather is not too bad. Lots to see lots to do plenty of activities for the children, it is a favourite place for dog walkers. I can't fault the place for everyone and a great cafe there too with wonderful icecream. Even plenty of parking!
