Region: Benefitting from its Georgian capital city Lancaster, popular for its tourist attractions of Lancaster Castle, Williamson Park and the wonderful Way of the Roses cycling route, Lancashire offers a range of hidden gems you won't want to miss. With Blackpool close-by, you won't be short of things to do with Blackpool Pleasure Beach, Blackpool Tower, the SEA LIFE centre and its 32-acre Zoo.

Town: Bolton le Sands is a small, sprawling village set back from the shores of Morecambe Bay, often forgotten because of its larger and busier neighbour Morecambe. With a nice selection of shops and pubs it is within easy reach not only of the fun seaside resort of Morecambe, but also of the quieter coastal villages of Silverdale and Heysham. Further afield, but still within very easy touring distance are the Lake District, Yorkshire Dales and Forest of Bowland. Visit the refurbished railway museum in nearby Carnforth, location of the classic film Brief Encounter, then take the scenic trip along the coastal rail route from Carnforth to Barrow in Furness, stopping at picturesque towns along the way. For cyclists there are cycleways along the prom and inland to Caton and the river Lune, making this equally as good as both a touring centre and for those who enjoy the great outdoors.
