UK’s Most Popular Seaside Resort

The UK’s most popular seaside resort is Blackpool, and some people think of this seaside town as big and brash, and although it can be, Blackpool is devoted to the pursuit of pleasure, and has long since played host to hen and stag nights, and is a holiday full of fun for the whole family.

When the town first became a holiday resort, it was a place where the upper classes would ‘take the waters’ in fact it was an early health resort. The coming of the railway changed everything and thus brought mass popularity, when people came to Blackpool to enjoy two weeks of fresh air and fun.

To ensure visitors to Blackpool kept coming back, heavy investment in the up-to-date technology of the day, built the famous Blackpool Tower, which is half size copy of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, also the illuminations, which is a fantastic six mile festival of light, Blackpool boasts the first tramcars in Britain, and one of the earliest provincial airports, all these innovative ideas secured visitors to Blackpool in their millions every year.

When the seeds were sown on the idea of a tower, the north-west coast of Britain was thought to be far too windy to build something so high, but around the four legs of the tower a stunning ornate ballroom was built, with a beautiful Wurlitzer organ, an aquarium, an indoor circus, and of course shops to cater for the many many visitors who continually come to see Blackpool’s Tower.

The Blackpool illuminations, locally knows as ‘The Lights’ began in 1879 this of course was before the invention of the light bulb, by Thomas Edison, thus arc lights were used and were called ‘artificial sunshine’, this lighting developed over the years and today over a million light bulbs bring stunning displays to life, with overhead decorations, also laser beams creating patterns in the night sky.
