Blackpool

The beaches are the favourite spot amongst families (weather permitting) but there is also an excellent Zoo situated across from the lovely Stanley Park. Blackpool’s nightlife is legendary with two world-class theatres, hundreds of pubs and restaurants and dozens of nightclubs, some of which are huge. The Blackpool season also lasts two months longer than most resorts because of the illuminations - the worlds longest free show - that run along the Golden Mile and way beyond. With plans afoot to turn much of the town into a Las Vegas style casino resort it looks like Blackpool’s fortunes can only get better.
