It might be infamous as the home of an incredible array of tacky English
tat, but the
northern seaside resort of Blackpool still draws an incredible 6 million
visitors a year, most of them attracted by the selection of arcades,
shows, drinking culture and a quick few days sprawled on the sands.
It’s hardly the Spanish Riviera, true, but Blackpool does have its
charms, not least: the Blackpool Tower (an aging copy of The Eiffel
Tower which hosts regular events, and is the undisputed symbol of
Blackpool), the Pleasure Beach
(an oversized fairground featuring everything from traditional donkey
rides to supersized rollercoasters) and three different piers, each with
their own unique character. Blackpool's famous sea-front also boasts
traditional trams, horse-drawn carriages and a huge Sea-Life Centre,
with a stunning glass ceiling walk-through shark aquarium - where you
can stare a shark straight in the eye, an eerie and intriguing
experience.
