Looking to take the kids out for the day? It couldn't be easier to head straight for the coast. Blackpool's famous seafront is packed with iconic attractions, including Blackpool Tower, the Pleasure Beach, the Winter Gardens and Blackpool Illuminations. Animal lovers can visit Blackpool Zoo, home to more than 1,000 animals, including elephants, giraffes and big cats, or explore Wild Discovery at Ribby Village Hall.

There’s also Preston, the county’s largest city, which is filled with retail centres like St George’s and Fishergate, alongside landmarks like the Harris Museum and Avenham and Miller Parks. 

Where are the best places to explore the green spaces in Lancashire?

When you’re looking to explore the countryside on offer, you’ll be spoiled for choice.

For anyone who likes a good walk, there are plenty of opportunities to put on your boots and head outdoors. Pendle Hill, which sits within The Forest of Bowland, is a bewitching area of Lancashire, best known for the witch trials which took place in 1612. Then, for a further insight into the history of these trials, you can also visit Lancaster Castle, which is one of England’s best-preserved castles.
