Cleveleys (with its neighbouring town of Thornton , collectively known as Thornton-Cleveleys) is a town on the Fylde Coast of Lancashire , England , about 4 miles north of Blackpool and 2 miles south of Fleetwood . Thornton is mentioned in the Domesday Book but its much younger neighbour, Cleveleys, a bustling seaside resort, developed in the 19th century around a hotel owned by a Mr Cleveleys (Cleveleys means “woodland clearing near a cliff or bank”). The two towns are linked by Victoria Road, and the Blackpool To Fleetwood Tram Line runs through the centre of Cleveleys. Cleveleys boasts a wide sandy beach, with sea views over the Irish Sea to the west and Morecambe Bay and the Lake District mountains to the north. The town has a more genteel atmosphere than its brasher southerly neighbour of Blackpool and is a popular retirement area. EXTERNAL LINKS
