Geocache Description:

Another in Anchorsholme Park (isn't it great when another cache is placed in an area you've just been to?!) A magnetic nano, yeah!

Access cache from inside the park, no need to enter tramline area!

Blackpool's trams run along the coast from Starr Gate to Fleetwood, a line that was once part of larger tram network in the area. Much of the route runs alongside the seafront, briefly turning inland for the last few miles before reaching the coast again at Fleetwood.

It was the last surviving first-generation tramway in the United Kingdom  until it was replaced by a fleet of modern Supertrams' in 2012. However, today the traditional trams still provide a 'heritage service' on weekends, bank holidays and during the summer. The line dates back to 1885 and is one of the oldest electric tramways in the world. It runs for 11 miles (18 km) and carries 6,500,000 passengers each year.

Little Bispham, where you are, has a shelter building, and north of this stop there is a single-track reversing loop, hopefully right in front of you. In modern times, the Little Bispham turning circle sees little use except for Illuminations tram tours, After Little Bispham the line curves slightly inland from the coast along the edge of Anchorsholme Park towards Cleveleys.
