Blackpool - Castles, Cathedrals,
Monuments,
Stately Homes & Palaces
|
|
Since the stone age, man has been
creating majestic structures that we still marvel at
today. Whether you are interested in ancient monuments,
battlefield sites, re-enactments,
Roman and Norman forts and castles, Stately Homes, Country Houses, Historic
Cathedrals, Ruined Abbeys etc, this is the page that
should give you the information you need.
Here we try to list properties in
private ownership but open to the public (even if only
occasionally) as well as those in the care of the
National Trust or English/Scottish Heritage.
We know that not all the
properties in Blackpool are listed. Please help us
make this guide comprehensive by giving details of
missing attractions
here.

Winter Gardens:
Marvel at the gilded exuberance of Blackpool’s
Winter Gardens, newly restored to pristine
glory. This is quite simply one of the most
amazing buildings in the world. As if the
renowned Empress Ballroom and Opera House -
Britain’s biggest theatre - weren’t enough, the
architects crammed the sprawling 41/2 acre site
with bits and pieces from dream palaces of a
dozen ages and cultures. Vast yet full of
intimate corners, the Winter Gardens is partly
Tudor England, partly Strauss’s Vienna, partly
Seville in its golden age, partly ancient Rome -
in fact, wholly fantastic and wholly Blackpool.

Stanley Park:
With so many exciting attractions in Blackpool,
some people like to slip away to tranquillity.
Once you have visited the beautiful Stanley Park
you will return again and again. Situated less
than two miles from the seafront, the 256 acre
park is the place for those more leisurely
pursuits. The 26 acre lake, partly enclosed by
woodland is the perfect setting for a quiet
cruise by motor boat, rowing or pedal boat.
There are six superb bowling greens and two
18-hole putting greens and numerous tennis
courts.
