Ideal for dog walkers, cyclists, joggers. Walk from Jubilee Gardens to Bispham tram stop is approx half hour, where there is a lovely little cafe were you can treat yourself to a tea, coffee, hot chocolate or a snack. When the tide is out you can see and walk all the way to Cleveleys. Word of warning though, the majority of cyclists don't stop or slow if you're in the way when walking on the track between the footpath and the Promenade Road. Now the Illuminations are in it's a lovely walk along of an evening.

I absolutely love this northern end of Blackpool's promenade. It is relatively quiet and yet truly full of interest. There are two levels and the most wonderful, green-painted Victorian shelters. The sunsets from here are incredible and so too are the views to North Pier (and at low tide) across the vast, golden sands.

This pier has many happy memories for me, as I've done several summer season shows in the theatre, judged heats of Miss Blackpool in the open air bar, and enjoyed post show drinks in the Carousel Bar. And I never tire of viewing the Blackpool coastline, especially seeing it all lit up during the illuminations. Add in it's Carousel ride, and all the slot machines at the promenade end, and North Pier has a lot to offer
