Castlemere Hotel Blackpool

The famous Blackpool Pleasure Beach attracts six and a half million visitors per year. Take a trip on the heart stopping rides; on the Pepsi-Max Big One (pictured) you will rise to a height of 213 ft and then descend at a speed of 74 miles per hour. Opposite the Pleasure Beach you will find the indoor tropical paradise of the Sandcastle complex with its water slides, wave pool, bar and cafes.

Blackpool Promenade can be enjoyed by foot or tram, taking in the Irish Sea air, the golden sands and the bustle of Blackpool's Golden Mile. The Promenade is around 7 miles long, stretching from Starr Gate to the boundary of Cleveleys and Thornton. In recent years there has been a make-over of the seafront in South Shore which features various open air art works. Take a stroll along the 3 splendid piers, each with its own delightful character and attractions.

An absolute must, during your stay, is a visit to the world famous Blackpool Tower; built in 1894. Whatever the weather, the tower offers an exciting fun packed family day out. Beneath the tower itself are seven floors offering live entertainment throughout the day. Dance in the magnificent Tower Ballroom, delight at the circus with its clowns and acrobats and view the varied exhibitions. Take the lift, which during the season carries approximately 7,000 people a day skywards to look down on Blackpool. While at the summit dare you walk across the glass floor?
