Visiting Blackpool

Blackpool’s Pleasure Beach puts it firmly on the UK tourist trail; this is a town that oozes fun from every pore. Most visitors come here for the theatrical excessiveness that beams from attractions both day and night.

Of course the iconic Blackpool Tower, the Illuminations and the thrill rides must get a mention, but there are other attractions to fit into your visit. The acclaimed Grundy Art Gallery offers a little culture, and families might like to visit the World Horse Welfare Penny Farm or Blackpool Zoo.

Tips: The Illuminations shine for 66 nights from September to November.
