Highlights of Blackpool and Fleetwood - Day trip from Liverpool

Join me on a tour of the 'great roaring spangled beast' that sits on the shores of the Irish Sea. This is how Yorkshire writer J B Priestley described Blackpool in 1934. Fast forward 10 years, and a young John Lennon was spending happy childhood holidays here and in the neighbouring resort of Fleetwood. In the 1960s the Beatles were amongst the many famous bands who played in the town, which boasts a long history of entertaining its visitors spanning over 200 years. Still famously bold and brash, Blackpool is also wonderfully romantic, nostalgic and buzzing with life, and it's this vibrant town with a proud heritage that I would love to show you, once we've travelled from Fleetwood along the coast on one of the country's oldest tramways. Fleetwood is a gem in its own right - so full of interest and incredible to think that the town and its buildings were designed by Decimus Burton, architect of the Palm House at Kew Gardens, London's Wellington Arch and countless other classical buildings across Britain.
