Blackpool has been in the limelight recently for various great reasons such as documentaries,two drama series, and has accommodated a superb line up of famous faces.
There is no
doubt why Blackpool is one of the Uk's favorite destinations. With a fabulous 7 mile promenade to take a stroll, to the razzle and dazzle of the shows, to thrills and spills on the Pleasure Beach, there is certainly something to suit everyone. Besides the obvious attractions Blackpool has so much more to offer such as a visit to Stanley Park where you can play a game of
crazy golf, feed the ducks while sailing in a motor boat, perhaps a visit to the cafe for some light refreshements before indulging in a game of tennis or badminton.
There are also other sights worth visiting such as Fleetwood Pier and markets, the various parks, football and tennis courts, and also the nearby Model village which is just one of the attractions within a short distance. While you are there you could also visit the Blackpool Zoo which is situated across from Stanley Park or even take a relaxing break at The De Vere
and sample some of their relaxing therapies.
