Blackpool continues to surprise people with its unstoppable popularity as a major seaside resort and competes on an equal key with many of Europe's top budget destinations. Full of traditional seaside fun for all the family, Blackpool has it all, with an endless stretch of sand, a famous tower, and one of the country's best roller coaster theme parks.
Blackpool is by no means a sophisticated resort and yet continues to lure many thousands of tourists all through the year, particularly during the summer months, and the charm and appeal of this town should not be underestimated.
Blackpool's most visited tourist attractions include the Pleasure Beach - the UK's top outdoor attraction, featuring more than 70 fast rides and roller coasters; the Sea Life Centre - full of marine life, complete with underwater tunnel and many huge sharks; the Blackpool Zoo and Dinosaur Safari - full of animals from all over the world, including a gorilla mountain, elephants, tigers, a tropical rainforest area and plenty of educational information; and the Sandcastle Waterworld - an exceptional water park with many fast slides, a wave pool and 'water roller coaster'.
Morecambe is situated on the edge of the famed Morecambe Bay, Morecambe is once again becoming one of the nation’s best loved seaside resorts. Its revival has been cemented by the multi-million pound renovation of the luxurious Midland Hotel, an art deco masterpiece originally built in 1933 and re-opened in June 2008. Within the hotel are several important pieces by controversial artist and sculptor Eric Gill. Almost opposite the hotel is another Morecambe landmark, the Grade-II listed Victoria Pavilion, better known as Morecambe Winter Gardens. Originally built in 1897, it has also seen a recent revival and now has a growing list of events from lively pantomime to spooky overnight paranormal investigations! Continue your exploration with a walk along the Promenade, where you’ll soon come upon a bronze statue of a man doing a funny walk. That’ll be the town’s most famous son, Eric Bartholomew, better known as Eric Morecambe, who took his stage name from the town in which he grew up.
