Places to stay in Blackpool
Blackpool is a borough seaside town, and unitary authority area of Lancashire,
in North West England. It is situated along England's west coast by the
Irish Sea, between the Ribble and Wyre estuaries, 17.5 miles (28.2 km)
northwest of Preston, 27 miles (43 km) north of Liverpool, 30 miles (48
km) northwest of Bolton and 40 miles (64 km) northwest of Manchester.
Blackpool rose to prominence as a major centre of tourism in England when
a railway was built in the 1840s connecting it to the industrialised regions
of northern England. Get your bearings with a bird’s eye view of
the action from the top of the famous Blackpool Tower, which soars 158
metres above the city. On a clear day you can see from North Wales to
the Lake District! Then set your adrenaline pumping at Blackpool’s
Pleasure Beach Resort where more than 125 rides, including Europe’s
tallest rollercoaster, the Pepsi Max Big One, await thrill-seekers young
and old.
