hkskyline's 2026 in BLACKPOOL

[hkskyline]

Located on the Irish Sea coast, Blackpool became a fashionable seaside resort during Victorian times. Back then, sea water was believed to have health-improving properties and when the rail connection arrived in 1846, working class families from Lancashire's industrial towns could easily reach here for their vacations. By the 1920s and 30s, Blackpool was the country's most popular resort.

However, Blackpool suffered a major blow when the package holiday era arrived, followed by low-cost airlines that would bring British families to southern Europe on the cheap.

Nevertheless, they're trying to get tourism back on its feet with illuminations and there is a huge theme park that still attracts crowds.

Blackpool has a long stretch of beach along the Irish Sea and having arrived fairly early in the morning, the waterfront was deserted.
