Holiday Itinerary
Day 1 Depart from your home area and travel to Lancashire, arriving late afternoon at the Best Western Glendower Hotel, Lytham Saint Annes. 4 nights stay - dinner, bed & breakfast.
Day 2 Today we head north to visit Lancaster Castle. Described by English Heritage as "the Northwest's most important historic and archaeological monument", it has a long history associated with law and order and crime and punishment. You'll find out more about the castle's fascinating past on a guided tour. Following our visit to the castle, you'll have some time to explore Lancaster at leisure before we return to our hotel for dinner.
Day 3 This morning we head to 18th Century Lytham Hall - the finest Georgian House in Lancashire. Our guided tour tells us more of the history of the family and takes in beautiful plasterwork, Gillow furniture, and historic paintings. You'll also have time to explore the mature parkland surrounding the hall. In the afternoon, we'll return to our hotel where you have time to relax and enjoy our base of Lytham St Annes, perhaps wander around the elegant parks and gardens or take a stroll along the restored Victorian Pier before dinner this evening
Day 4 Today we head to Lancashire's famous seaside resort of Blackpool. No trip to Lancashire would be complete without a visit to the Blackpool Tower Ballroom where you can enjoy live music from the Mighty Wurlitzer and enjoy an Afternoon Tea Experience. The rest of the day is yours to explore Blackpool at leisure.
