Blackpool Lancashire England
As
one of
Britain’s most famous seaside resorts
Blackpool
has never been short of visitors.
Even before all the modern day attractions that we can
see here today were built, the appeal of
Blackpool
’s long stretch of fine coastline
was clear.
By
Victorian times
Blackpool
was clearly established on the map
as a popular place to take to the curative waters of
the sea. With more and more people coming to
Blackpool
various hotels and attractions
quickly began to take shape.
Today the must see sight is the famous
Blackpool
tower that stands at over 150
metres high and houses some of the best local
entertainment. There also the
Pleasure
Beach
and no less than three piers
spread across its 7-mile stretch of seafront and trams
still run along the promenade to make getting about as
easy as possible for all ages.
Blackpool
’s fun loving attitude is evident
in the form of its numerous pubs and bars and a love
of fast food rather than fine dining. The Golden Mile
is the area dedicated to amusement arcades and gets
packed out every night over the summer. Whilst the
winter season remains busy too thanks to the
introduction of the famous Blackpool Illuminations.
Regular tours travel along the seafront lit up in
glorious colour thanks to hundreds of electric and
neon lights, a sight that has to be seen to be
believed and a real part of the whole experience that
is Blackpool.
