Van Gogh would be immersed by the colours changing hue and so will you.Could there be a better time to visit the new forest? In my opinion, no! For at this time of year the forest is in its full glory. Visitor levels are lessened affording an experience more personal and almost serene. It is a quiet time and peaceful yet also vibrant, as the colours that overwhelm the eyes are in the main still gently tethered to every tree and bush with the...more

People have been coming to blackpool for hundreds of years, Blackpool was little more than a quiet seaside village. It was hard to reach being surrounded by bogs and forests. It wasnt until 1781 that the first road was built into the town, which enabled people to arrive by stagecoach. Even then the resort wasnt easily accessible because the journey was uncomfortable and time consuming: it could take a whole day to travel from Manchester and two days from Yorkshire. It should be noted as well that there was very little in terms of recreational facilities for visitors in Blackpool at this time. There was a short narrow grass promenade, a theatre, a bowling green and an area for archery. The main attraction was the sea shore: people walked or rode along the sands and swam in the sea. They even drank the seawater which apparently was a highly fashionable thing to do in those days.What really changed everything was the arrival of railway in the Blackpool area. In 1840 a railway was constructed with the original objective of transporting passengers to Fleetwood a town lying to the North of Blackpool. Sir Peter Hesketh, the founder of Fleetwood proposed to build a seaport and holiday...more
