Blackpool
A year-round resort
Blackpool is a coastal town full of character, by the Irish Sea in the Northwest of England. It’s the UK’s most popular seaside resort – and that’s in the summer AND winter.
In the summer, traditional seaside novelties like fish and chips, amusements, piers and long stretches of golden sand siren the masses.
From autumn to winter, it’s the world-famous Blackpool Illuminations light up the town, attracting 3.5 million visitors every year. Many local establishments now trade all year round.
Take a unique trip around Blackpool
