Blackpool got its name form a stream of dark water draining from the moss area around Marton back in the early 1400’s. A stream ran though the marshland which turned the water black, hence the name.
Blackpool became the first town to introduce electric street lights in 1879 with the Illuminations starting in 1912.
Blackpool Pleasure Beach.
There’s plenty to do at Pleasure Beach, including over 100 rides, attractions and spectacular shows. Ride on the Pepsi Max Big One, once the world’s tallest coaster. Turn your world upside down & get ready to do it again on the Revolution or experience the classic twin tracked coaster the Grand National. There is so much to see & do, you’ll need a week to see it, and do it, all.
Blackpool Tower.
The tower was inspired by the Eiffel Tower in Paris. It stands at 518.9ft (158 m) tall and it cost £42,000 to construct.
A Circus is positioned at the base of the Tower between its four legs and has been running since 1894. Visit the Magnificent Tower Ballroom, Jungle Jim’s Adventure Playground and of course, the Tower Top Ride and Walk of Faith.
The Golden Mile.
Blackpool’s Golden Mile. Arguably the brightest, most exciting stretch of outdoor attractions anywhere in the country.
Amusement arcades, restaurants, pubs and nightclubs line the Golden Mile from one end to the other.
It also encompasses some of Blackpool’s most famous attractions including The Tower, piers, the Sea Life Centre, Louis Tussauds, Ripleys Believe It or Not Museum to name but a few.
No trip to the resort could ever be complete without a lengthy stroll down the Golden Mile. But do it just once, and you’ll miss out on something because there’s so much to see, you’ll always find something new!
Blackpool Illuminations.
Blackpool’s annual lighting show piece attracts as many visitors in the winter as it does in the summer season.
Featuring six miles of traditional lamps, fibre optics,and lasers, the night becomes a blaze of colour’s amazing young & old. And it gets bigger and better every year, with spectacular new additions.
Whether you are viewing them from your seat on the tram or strolling along the promanade, you will experiance the magic and feel the atmosphere that only Blackpool can provide.
