Blackpool Hostels in Blackpool, Lancashire
|
Blackpool offers a wealth of accommodation for everyone - from four star luxury to homely B&Bs, plus flats, apartments and caravans - to suit all budgets. In Blackpool you can enjoy the ultimate 'short break' by the sea. Blackpool Tower, which opened in 1894, looks like a smaller version of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. It is possible to pay to go to the top of the tower for attractive views, or you can look down through the glass floor. At night it is lit up with thousands of lights. Blackpool has a long sandy beach which attracts holidaymakers from many parts of Britain (especially from the north). You can ride a tram (streetcar) along the road which runs parallel to the beach, or pay for a ride in a horse-drawn carriage. Making sandcastles is a popular activity for children, who carry a plastic bucket and spade onto the beach. There are three piers (structures which are built over the sea), each having cafes, amusement arcades and funfair rides. |
