Blackpool remains Britain’s most popular holiday destination with its 12 miles of promenade. Not only will you find the world's biggest mirror ball in Blackpool, you can also experience Europe’s tallest and fastest roller coaster at the Pleasure Beach, where there is no entry charge.

The resort truly has something for everyone. Whether you are looking for quite relaxing times in the award-winning Stanley Park, or a round of golf at one of the many popular courses in the region.

Blackpool continues to offer traditional donkey-rides on the beach for the children or the whole family can relax and take a trip along the seafront in a much loved landaus.
 

A must is a ride to the top of the 518-foot Blackpool Tower, perhaps then followed by a foxtrot in the magnificent ballroom as once featured in TV’s Come Dancing, while the children enjoy Jungle Jim's. Then all the family must sit down and enjoy the multi-award winning Tower Circus.

North, Central and South Piers offer varied entertainment with fantastic variety shows to thrill seeking rides and family bars. The first pier (North) was built in 1863.

 

Next to the South Pier you can have a wonderful family day out at the Sandcastle, where you will enjoy a heat-wave with white-knuckle water rides and chutes as well as wave pools.

A trip to Blackpool would not be complete without a ride on a tram. The first sight of the tram system
was in 1885 and it now stretches from Starr Gate
at the south of the resort all the way through to Fleetwood, a lovely port area where you will find great shopping at Freeport Outlet Village or at the traditional indoor and outdoor markets.

Blackpool is also a great resort to use as a base to explore all the attractions that the Lake District has to offer, which is about an hour away. Manchester and Liverpool are also easily accessible by car or train.

So come and spend a weekend, week or longer at The Windsor Carlton in Blackpool where there is always something to enjoy no matter how much time you have to spend in Britain’s favourite resort!
