The essence of the county, though, lies as much in its rural roots as it does in the glittering prize of a night out on Blackpool's Pleasure Beach.
Buy a caravan in one of the aforementioned holiday parks and you are able to enjoy the county to its full potential - exploring the surrounding countryside, with its quaint little villages and wonderful pubs, with as much vigour as you and your family have spent checking out the palaces of pleasure that line the seafront in the unofficial capital.
Static caravans (or holiday homes, or cottages, according to who you talk to) are the ideal investment for long term holidaying pleasure. When you own a holiday home, you can use it whenever you want. You are guaranteed a good location, because (certainly in the case of the caravan buying options you'll find in the Lancashire holiday parks) you're paying for something that is already situated in a place that you like.
When you buy a caravan like this you get all the benefits of staying on a reputable holiday park in your favourite part of the country - use of all the facilities and of course the peace of mind that comes from knowing that your holiday home is being watched over when you are not there - and you also get to start spreading your wings and exploring more.
That means finding the lesser known treasures of the area - like having a real Lancashire hot pot in a genuine Northern pub on an autumnal Sunday afternoon or taking a picnic to the dunes at Lytham St Anne's or visiting the traditional farmer's markets that appear in Fleetwood on a Tuesday.
Caravans give you the best of both worlds - a base from which to explore and the chance to genuinely own your own holiday property. Whenever you and the family are in the mood to get away from it all, you can. No more end of holiday blues, no more squeezing all your fun into the same two weeks of the year as everyone else. Buy a caravan in Lancashire and you will be able to take advantage of your favourite part of the country whenever you want - for weekends, for birthdays, for holidays or just for a break from the day to day business of your life.
Bear in mind that you could even make money out of your cottage purchase - not enough to be called a profit, of course, but certainly a healthy chunk towards paying your ground rent and maintenance fees for the year. SO if you fancy a self-sufficient holiday property in the middle of one of the most varied counties in the country, then Lancashire caravans could well be the opportunity you - and your family - have been waiting for.
