In this episode of the Where Writers Go creative writing podcast, I take you on a sensory-rich walk and storytelling journey around the seaside town of Cleveleys on the Lancashire coast, so relax and enjoy the walk.

Then, I will share more information about Cleveleys, so you have a better understanding of where we’ve just been.

Next, I will talk about the importance of ‘SETTING’ in creative writing and storytelling, and give you a writing prompt and exercise to practise yourself, designed to help you develop setting in fiction and spark new ideas for your own stories.

I really enjoyed making this podcast and writing my own story based on the guided walk, and I hope you enjoy it too.

If you try the exercises yourself, please let me know in the comments, and don’t forget to like, follow, and subscribe to the Where Writers Go podcast for more writing prompts, story ideas, and creative inspiration for authors and storytellers.
