Cleethorpes Train Station
Trains to Cleethorpes take you right to the beach – any closer and you'd get sandy feet. The waterside reception sets the tone perfectly as this classic British seaside town is the ideal destination for donkey rides, sticks of rock and a bag of chips on the beach. The station itself dates back to 1863, and there's no denying the rail has had a strong impact on Cleethorpes – the arrival of steam travel turned this quaint and quiet village into a booming seaside resort, which is exactly what it still is today. With its white picket fences, zigzag awning and clock tower, the station is a welcoming site, and it's also ideally located. The promenade is literally metres away, from where endless opportunities for family fun await, including the American sweetshop Candiland, the Lollipop Road Train and Cleethorpes' miniature seaside railway, home to the self-proclaimed smallest pub in the world, The Signal Box Inn.
