Blackpool — a carnivalesque tipsy-toupee, ears-pierced-while-you-wait beach resort on England's northwest coast — was where the mill workers and miners of Yorkshire and Lancashire spent their holidays. Blackpool remains a wonderland of cheap fish 'n chips, gambling salons, schmaltzy variety shows, and candy floss. Its waterfront is dominated by the Blackpool Tower, shaped like a stubby Eiffel Tower, this giant amusement center seems to grunt, "Have fun." The tower's gilded ballroom is festooned with old-time seaside elegance. Blackpool's waterfront promenade leads along a string of noisy amusements. Three amusement piers stretch out beyond the promenade into the sea, each with its own personality. For modern-day thrills, Blackpool Pleasure Beach is tops, its 42 acres of rides, ice-skating shows, cabarets, and amusements attract seven million people a year, making Pleasure Beach one of England's most popular attractions. Blackpool has plenty to keep its visitors entertained in the evening, besides quality plays, nighttime options always include a few dancing-girl, racy-humor, magic, and tumbling shows. If you're traveling with kids — or still are one yourself — visit Britain's Coney Island and experience England like you can nowhere else.

Blackpool is the first city in the world where electricity was used to the municipal illumination. Blackpool Illuminations are an annual light festival stretching along the promenade, covering nearly six miles with dazzling lights, illuminated displays, and themed installations. Blackpool Tower does attract the attention, so it’s only natural that it became a symbol of the town. In the same complex are located circus and ballroom, which during the past years has been hosting the most famous ballroom dance championship in the world and other dancing events. For those who love adrenaline, Blackpool has a huge amusement park, with one of the biggest roller coasters in the world. In the 19th and 20th centuries, Blackpool became a favorite holiday spot for working-class families from Northern England’s industrial cities, especially during the summer months. With the rise of the railway, affordable travel allowed people to visit for weekend getaways, making Blackpool a resort for family-friendly holidays. Blackpool stands out from the lot for sure.
