Marvelous Blackpool











Situated on the North West coast of England in the county of Lancashire, Blackpool is probably the nearest thing that the United Kingdom has to Las Vegas. In fact there are already several casinos in operation in the city, and there are plans to make Blackpool the site of the first British "Super Casino". The proposed super casino will be open around the clock, and there will no longer the need to wait 24 hours before being granted membership. As long as you are over eighteen you will be able to walk in off the street, and place your bets on roulette, blackjack or even the latest hits, Texas hold'em poker.
Needless to say, not everyone come to Blackpool just to play in casinos, and there is no shortage of other entertainments available for the hundreds of thousands of holiday makers who flock to Blackpool and neighboring St. Annes every year for their holiday. Blackpool has been the holiday venue for the people of Lancashire for more than a century, and looks like remaining their first choice for many years to come.
Blackpool has a beautiful beach curtained bu a long trail of sea front restaurants, bars and entertainment centers. Looking down on all the holiday frivolity is the d world famous Blackpool Tower. Built way back in Victorian times, Blackpool Tower displays a strong resemblance to its Parisian counterpart on which it was modeled, Blackpool Tower is the focal point of the famous and spectacular light show held every year during the peak holiday season.
Offering something for everyone, Blackpool is a great choice of a holiday for families with young children, with attractions to keep the kids amused all day and every day. The Pleasure Beach theme park is a great favorite. There is much to do and sample there in the way of entertainment, with the high point for many being a breathtaking ride on the roller coaster which is one of the World's largest.
For those who want to get out of Blackpool for a day or two and visit the neighboring countryside there are many attractions within a short distance of the city.
Highly popular among them is the Lake District situated to the north of Blackpool. There are many breathtaking views to be enjoyed as well as excellent "old manor" style restaurants or hotels where you can pass a day or two in perfect tranquility. If you want to travel to and from Blackpool, you have many choices, among them the local airport which handles local and international flights, train services, bus lines as well as fast road links to the excellent UK motorways services.
Renting a car can be an economical way to travel around Blackpool and the county of Lancashire. There are a few major car hire companies operating in the city, with some firms even offering discounts for rentals of three days and over. Car Hire in Blackpool usually comes as a 'fully inclusive' package which includes unlimited mileage, collision damage waiver, passenger indemnity insurance and cover for third party, fire and theft - but not usually insurance excess.
To rent a car anywhere in the United Kingdom, you must show a full driver's licence and a credit card in the driver's name. Cars are usually rented to customers between the ages of 21 to 70 years. Many people are reluctant to hire cars and drive around the city which can be congested especially during the holiday season with parking being a problem. Blackpool' s famous trams can be a fun to travel and if you want to get exotic there are also horse drawn carts plying their services more or less twenty four hours a day. Taxis are not expensive and are readily available around the clock, and take a lot of the pressure out of traveling around the center of Aberdeen city. Hiring a car is a great idea if you want to use Blackpool as your base for a three day minimum travel experience around the region.
Whatever you decide, Blackpool has it all and looks forward to welcoming you For information on car hire or car rentals in Blackpool city visit EveryCarHire at Car Hire Blackpool
