Days out in Lancashire

Blackpool’s tower, beachfront thrills, and pubs a plenty mean it’s great for hen dos and weekends away with the kids alike. You can check out Blackburn’s impressive cathedral. Or how about learning to scuba dive with Canary Divers?

What else is there to love about Lancashire? How about hanging about with wild boars in the forest of Bowland or quad bike trekking in Skipton? For something a bit more chilled, pick up bargains at Fleetwood market or cruise along the Lancaster canal.

2 hours by train from Glasgow and London and close to Birmingham, Leeds and Manchester Airport, Lancashire’s easy to get to and great for families.
