Oswaldtwistle Mills and Blackpool

This morning, we head to Oswaldtwistle Mills, a former weaving mill now home to over 100 retailers, offering something for everyone. After enjoying tea and cake, we return to Blackpool, where you’ll have free time to explore at your own pace. Take a leisurely walk along the ‘Golden Mile,’ passing the three traditional piers and the iconic tower, or visit the Comedy Carpet, where jokes and catchphrases from famous comedians are immortalized in front of the tower.

Day at leisure or Southport, followed by Blackpool Illuminations by vintage tram in the evening

Enjoy a day at leisure in Blackpool, where you can explore iconic landmarks like the Blackpool Tower and the three traditional piers, offering endless entertainment.

Alternatively, join our optional excursion to Southport, where you can browse the bustling shops on Lord Street, enjoy the elegant pier, and relax on the beautiful beach, while admiring the stunning architecture and glass roof of Wayfarers Arcade.

After dinner, experience the dazzling Blackpool Illuminations on a vintage tram ride, the best way to witness the spectacular six-mile light show that is updated with new additions each year.

Lake District and Cruise

Renowned for its stunning lakes, mountains, and historic 19th-century poets, the Lake District is the UK’s most visited National Park and England’s newest UNESCO World Heritage Site. We begin our visit in the picturesque village of Bowness-on-Windermere, located on the shores of England’s largest lake, where you can explore independent shops, relax in charming cafés, or simply enjoy the breathtaking surroundings.

Afterward, we’ll embark on a scenic cruise to Ambleside, offering a unique perspective of the stunning landscape from the water.
