Lawnsdale Country Park
It is hard to escape that Lawnsdale Country Park is within a twenty minutes’ drive of Blackpool. Blackpool is a hugely popular seaside town, sometimes referred to as the ˜British Las Vegas.
However, many parts of Blackpool are peaceful and serene. Giving you the chance to explore the slower, gentler side of the area. Such as the beautiful parks of Blackpool, like Stanley Park, North Blackpool Pond Trail, and as mentioned above the calm and serene Marton Mere local Reserve.
Blackpool is home to several major attractions, such as its world-famous illuminations and pleasure beach. It is known as a family resort, however, there is plenty to see and do in the town for couples and solo visitors.
The Lytham Green stretches the length of the promenade with views across the estuary to Southport and is the perfect setting for open air concerts and exhibitions throughout the year.
Giving holiday homeowners the opportunity to take part in a number of activities and witness exciting events such as the Lytham Proms Music Festival.
Take a stroll through pretty tree-lined streets where you can enjoy the many specialist shops, pavement cafés and restaurants.
A quieter seaside experience can be found in Lytham St Annes, a quaint village which runs at a slower pace than Blackpool at its brightest. Residents can also easily reach communities such as Warton, Weeton, Normoss and Poulton-le-Fylde with ease, either via car or through public transport.
The Lawnsdale Country Park is close to Blackpool Zoo, so for any animal lovers can take a short trip to look at various beasts and birds.
Golf enthusiasts will find the famous Herons Reach club close by too. Pitchers and putters can register for memberships and play at links just a few minutes away from the park. Alternatively, a second club at Royal Lytham & St Annes is available towards the South, as are clubs at Lytham Green Drive and Fairhaven. Golf lovers have a variety of challenges awaiting them.
The park also provides residents with close access to transport links that extend all around the UK. Blackpool North Train Station is a major terminal, which means travelers can easily link to towns and cities up and down the country.
The rolling sand dunes from Starr Gate to St Annes and the Ribble Estuary adjacent to Lytham make a safe haven for more than 250,000 migrating birds that flock here in winter.
St Anne’s boasts a beautifully restored Victorian Pier, promenade with views across to North Wales and Southport. Award winning beach huts, a wide-open sandy beach, plenty of places to eat and stay for visitors and a wonderful seaside charm.
