Blackpool & The Lakes

You are here

Alive & trekking

2 very different but equally popular options; being close to some of Europe’s most inspiring and spectacular scenery, or the buzz and excitement of Britain’s family holiday capital. Blackpool, famous for its exhilarating Pleasure Beach, Golden Mile and Tower attraction, offers something new and exciting every year, like the new Spanish Steps and the exciting Headlands developments along the vibrant seafront. Only an hour or so away, Cumbria paints a very different picture, with deep lakes and wooded valleys carving out a soaring, sensational landscape. A place to take in the beauty around; perhaps enjoy a lake cruise, a memorable drive or picnic, the Beatrix Potter Museum, or tackle a challenging fell walk. It’s one big adventure playground, with a gentle southern shoreline that’s perfect for an easygoing family holiday

Places of interest around Blackpool & The Lakes

Cala Gran

Maybe it's the "Blackpool effect" because at Cala Gran there's always a lively atmosphere. The big indoor pool features a waterslide and poolside Jacuzzi. There's an outdoor SplashZone even non-swimmers can revel in, plus, there are plenty of sports and activities to keep active families on the go; and the famous Pleasure Beach isn't far away.

Lakeland

The southern end of The Lakes offers an altogether softer and calmer landscape. Here there are easy woodland walks and bike rides and only 20 minutes away lies Windermere, the gateway to breathtaking scenery, wonderful tours and attractions and challenging fell walks. For a truly green, relaxing and revitalising family holiday, you'll love Lakeland.

Marton Mere

Although it's only three miles from Blackpool Tower, the Pleasure Beach and "the Big One", Marton Mere is a beautiful Park with its own nature reserve and Park Ranger station. Plus, there's enough lively fun and action to rival the premier resort, including a superb new SplashZone with Space Bowl & Flume, and Adventure Golf. Enjoy Blackpool, escape Blackpool - your choice.
