The City
The guide was updated:
Acclaimed as the premiere tourist attraction in Europe, Blackpool and tourism go hand in hand, like the many happy couples seen strolling along its seafront. Those visiting Blackpool for the first time will find themselves being drawn to the seafront like a bee to a jar of honey. With its three piers providing all manner of entertainment, the long stretches of golden sands, the white-knuckle rides at the ironically named “Pleasure Beach”, and the Golden Mile with its neon lights and saucy humour, you could be forgiven for thinking that there is nothing beyond the bright lights. However, for those who dare to venture away there is the calm of Stanley Park, the quaint seaside resorts of Fleetwood and Lytham St Annes and the breathtaking scenery of the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District.
