Hillylaid Pool is a water channel running through the Fylde and Wyre areas of Lancashire in England. It is 4.55 miles (7.32 km) long,[1] and it is part of the Fleetwood Peninsula Tributary catchment area.[1]
Hillylaid Pool joins the River Wyre at Stanah, shortly after merging with another watercourse to the northwest of Flint's Caravan Park.[2]
It has the ability to be pumped at high tide by a pumping station on River Road, beside the entrance to Wyre Estuary Country Park.[3]
It was the subject of Wyre River Trust's Hillylaid Pool Wetland Project in 2018.[4] The wetlands were created on the banks of the Wyre at Stanah in 2020, a combined effort of The Rivers Trust and Wyre Rivers Trust.[5][6]
