Located on the northwest coast, Lancashire has the best of sea and city. The famous Blackpool Pleasure Beach resort is a must-see. Ride the Big Dipper, and think about doing it for 2000 hours continuously. It’s only been done once by Richard Rodriguez who set the world record in 1990. Feeling a bit nauseous at the thought? Clear your head and take a walk around the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty called the Forest of Bowland. Stay in one of our hotels in Lancashire and you’re in the perfect location to experience all of this.

From here, it’s a 13-minute walk back to our Preston Central Hotel. If you’re into The Hobbit or Lord of The Rings, you’ve come to the right place.
