Blackpool Pleasure Beach

The Pleasure Beach, the most visited amusement park in Britain, is a 16 hectare collection of more than 145 rides.  As well as having one of the tallest and fastest roller coasters in Europe ‘The Pepsi Max Big One’, the Pleasure Beach is one of the few parks left in the world to operate a traditional wooden roller coaster. If it starts to rain there are over 6 major arcades located indoors including high-tech simulation, state-of-the-art video games and virtual reality systems. You'll also find a themed bowling alley called Blowladrome, and the ghostly walk-through attraction of Horror Crypt. It's a tough one to pull the kids away from!

Gormley Statues

The Gormley Statues on Crosby Beach are a stunning piece of modern art called Another Place by Antony Gormley. Over 100 cast iron statues face out to see over a 2 mile stretch and appear and disappear with the tide. It's a spooky spectacle but well worth the trip over.
