The town of Blackpool is located on the Fylde Coast of Lancashire, it even has it's own motorway leading directly to it!

Donkey rides, three piers, a promenade, the Pleasure Beach (amusement park), the Illuminations, Blackpool Rock, the Golden Mile (amusement arcades), home of the ballroom dancing championships, and a rather large tower that the French stole and called Eiffel ;) ...This is Blackpool.

The nightlife for which Blackpool is famous for is lively and robust, the town has become a capital for stag nights and hen parties.

There's also Sea Life Centre, the Dr Who exhibition, The Trams and even a Zoo. 6 million visitors a year can't be wrong.


There are plenty of other smaller less well known towns which make up the Fylde Coast, all of which are have their own character and attractions. Fleetwood and Cleveleys can be reached by tram, and visited in a day from Blackpool. Fleetwood has a pier of it's own and Freeport shopping centre for those that just have to get their retail therapy fix. Cleveleys is smaller town with it's own picturesque beach, shopping area and a new leisure complex consisting of a cinema, pub and major brand pizza restaurant.

South of the Fylde Coast is Lytham which considers itself a more upmarket and quieter town. Good restaurants, a great beach and a small cosy cinema are just some of it's attractions.

You can also travel further afield as Lancaster or the wonderful Lake District are both within a two hour drive. :)

On a cool, but getting colder October night we all decided it would be fun to go to the Pleasure Beach at Blackpool. We caught the bus as we had on other occations and made our way to the tram at Starr gate. After a short trip on the tram and a pit stop at the central pier we crossed the road by the thunderbird 3 that my son likes. After a few photos of thunderbird three and my son we decided to go into the pleasure beach. One tip make sure you have lots of money as each ride is not cheap. It...

After we left St Annes we took the bus to Blackpool and them the tram to the Pleasure beach.  Sam wanted another look at Thunderbird 3, so we stood and looked at Thunderbird 3 while Sam ran around it!  Then the cry of 'I need a wee wee' could be heard from him so off to the Southpeir for a loo stop.  Small children are great for wanting the toilet just when you are no where near a loo!!   Then back to the Pleasure beach.  Now we are not really great ones for la...
