Blackpool
Cluttered with souvenir shops and fast food restaurants, many see Blackpool as the archetypal tacky British seaside resort. The town is making efforts to change this image; the Great Promenade Show being a great example. Although it could never be described as a cultural Mecca, it is certainly a lot of fun and is consequently the most popular resort in Britain.
The town is famous for its Pleasure Beach, piers and illuminations and boasts a wealth of attractions for all ages. In addition to being popular with families, the town is also a favourite with stag and hen parties, conferences and the gay community.
The Tourist Information Centre is situated on the Central Promenade, opposite the Tower.
