A day at Southport
On Sunday we took a trip to Southport. This is a beautiful town with some fantastic architecture, a lovely park and gardens with a big lake and a long pier (none of which was anywhere near the water when we were there!). The pier is unusual in that the start of it is quite some distance in land and it has a tram that travels the full length of it. The weather was good and there is a big permanent fun-fair there called Pleasure Land www.southportpleasureland.com
From the seafront - where there is also a McDonalds, a KFC and a large cinema complex - you can see across the water all the way to Blackpool. You can easily see the tower and the Big One at the Pleasure Beach. Southport is an ideal destination for a day trip from Blackpool, with something to interest people of all ages. It takes around 1 hour to get there from Blackpool by coach.
