About Blackpool

Blackpool is England's classic seaside resort, built around the 1894 Tower, three Victorian piers and the Pleasure Beach amusement park. Each autumn its seafront runs six miles of illuminated lights, a Victorian-era tradition that still draws crowds to the promenade and Golden Mile.
