We Do Like To Be Beside the Seaside

by Matthew Worthington - 18th May 18

Local Area, Blackpool

Many of our guests make the most of our close proximity to the coast and head for day trips to Lytham St Annes and Blackpool.

It’s a beautiful stretch of coastline just waiting to be explored.

Blackpool remains a traditional seaside family favourite with its world famous attractions and long sandy beaches, which this week, retained its prestigious Blue Flag award for the third year running. The only beach in the North West to receive the award.  The accolade is awarded by Keep Britain Tidy and recognises water quality, facilities, safety and environmental management.

Also on the horizon for the resort is the UK’s first double launch roller coaster, which opens at Blackpool Pleasure Beach later this month. ICON , which has cost the park £16.25m is the  largest ever single investment at the park. It will twist and turn at speeds of up to 80 km/h. ICON opens 25th May and will be a fantastic addition to one of the most famous theme parks in the world.
