The Mount was the highest sand dune that provided a significant high spot for Decimus Burton to plan his radial streets when setting out the planned town of Fleetwood. It was originally known to locals as Tup Hill.Seen here from the boating lake it is still an important marker in the landscape. A generous grant from Mrs Lofthouse, of Fisherman's Friend, is ensuring the seaward side of the gardens are being renovated and a grant to the Heritage Lottery Fund hopefully will guarantee work on the landward side of the gardens.
