Blackpool Vacation Guide

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. :)
