Admidst the buzz and bustle of Blackpool lies a well-kept secret just
3 miles from the famous Tower and Pleasure Beach. Located in its very
own nature reserve, Marton Mere is a rural Park that offers a peaceful
alternative to the bright lights of the town. Complete with electric
nightlife and fabulous entertainment of its own, there's something for
everyone. Take time out to visit Morecambe Bay a traditional seaside
resort in lovely surroundings. Away from the excitement of the seafront,
the award-winning Stanley Park is a haven of tranquillity with its
formal gardens, fountains and boating lake. Blackpool Model Village is
an enchanting attraction set in 2.5 acres of landscaped gardens. A
welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of the resort's more livelier
attractions. Marvel at the hand-crafted models and figures that depict
many scenes of life in miniature. The nearby reserve is an area of open
water, reed beds, scrub and grassland renowned for its wildlife. It is
nationally recognised, as a ‘Site of Special Scientific Interest’, for
its birds but also has important populations of dragonflies,
butterflies, hoverflies and other animals such as bats. Spring brings
migrant birds to Marton Mere, along with the common migrants like
Swallows and Swifts. Marton Mere has regularly attracted rare visitors
from all over the northern hemisphere. Rides and fantastic live shows
based on the legends of King Arthur are available at Camelot Theme Park
or for a more historic destination try Lancaster with a castle, Maritime
Museum and Roman bathhouse.
