  • Blackpool is the perfect seaside holiday destination for holidaymakers who flock to Blackpool beach and seafront. We explore the beachfront to check out Blackpool Tower, hotels, amusement arcades, shops, bars and pubs to see what Blackpool is like in Summer.
    Blackpool is a popular seaside holiday town for several reasons:
    Rich History: Blackpool has a long history as a holiday destination. It gained popularity in the 19th century with the advent of railways, making it easily accessible for people from industrial cities like Manchester and Liverpool. Its iconic attractions, such as the Blackpool Tower and the Pleasure Beach amusement park, have been attracting visitors for over a century.
    Pleasure Beach: Blackpool is home to one of the most famous amusement parks in the UK, the Blackpool Pleasure Beach. With a wide range of thrilling rides, including roller coasters and water slides, it offers entertainment for all ages. The Pleasure Beach is a major draw for families and thrill-seekers, contributing to Blackpool's popularity.
    Illuminations: Blackpool Illuminations is an annual light festival that has been held since 1879. It takes place along the Promenade, where millions of colorful lights are used to create stunning displays. The Illuminations attract visitors from far and wide, as they are a unique spectacle and provide a vibrant atmosphere.
    Beach and Promenade: Blackpool boasts a long sandy beach and a scenic promenade that stretches for miles. The beach offers opportunities for sunbathing, sandcastle building, and leisurely walks along the shore. The promenade is lined with shops, cafes, and amusement arcades, providing a lively atmosphere for visitors.
    Entertainment and Nightlife: Blackpool is renowned for its entertainment scene. It has numerous theaters hosting a variety of shows, including comedy, musicals, and magic acts. The Winter Gardens is a famous venue that hosts various events, including conferences and concerts. Additionally, Blackpool has a vibrant nightlife, with bars, clubs, and pubs catering to different tastes.
    Accessibility: Blackpool's location in the northwest of England makes it easily accessible from major cities in the region. It is well-connected by road and rail, allowing visitors to reach the town conveniently for a day trip or a longer holiday.
    Value for Money: Blackpool is often seen as an affordable holiday destination. It offers a range of accommodation options, from budget-friendly guesthouses to luxury hotels, catering to different budgets. The availability of reasonably priced attractions, food, and entertainment adds to its appeal as a cost-effective holiday spot.

    Having spent most of August in the sixties on holiday in Blackpool, I really enjoyed your tour but would have loved a peek around the back of the tower at the coronation rock shop. It's a crying shame what they've done to woolworths but at least the building is still there, unlike poor Lewis's. Thank you.

    There are too many fish and chip shops selling frozen chips. Ramsden was our favourite that we tried. They used to dress up old style in the restaurant. But we just bought takeaway the last few times.
    I miss the old trams. 🚋

      Yeah. It was once a Woolworths, as was the building now known as Blackpool amusements on the other side of the tower, plus a third one on Bond St south shore, which is now unfortunately lying derelict.
