FULL ENGLISH; Ales, Dales and Blackpool rock! BLACKPOOL, WHITBY, SCARBOROUGH AND THE SEAHOUSES

Oh how I love to be beside the seaside!

Blackpool, Whitby, Scarborough and the Seahouses

 
 
We were lucky to have some amazing weather for our two days in the seaside city of Blackpool!! We wandered along the promenade and up and down the piers, taking in the sights and sounds of the exciting place.
 

 The North Pier
 

The South Pier



 
 
The beach looked lovely on the warm day we had!
 


 
 


 
The Blackpool Tower stands at 500 feet high and really stands out from anywhere you are in the city.
 




Fish and Chips at the beach just had to be done! It was a perfect night for it too!
 



 
We just had to have Blackpool Rock while we were in Blackpool!!

 

 
 
We had a day at the seaside when we visited Whitby and Scarborough. The sun came out and made for a lovely day at the two popular tourist towns.

We wandered around the Marina and down the pier at Whitby.

The big stretch of beach at Whitby went on forever and had a lovely backdrop of rolling hills.
 
 
 
 
 
 
We took a 30 minute boat ride out to sea, and heard all about Captain Cook and his venture from Whitby around the world including Australia! Our boat was a replica of the boat Captain Cook used, however was half the size.
 


 
 
 
 


Next was the seaside town of Scarborough. We wandered down the promenade, which was bustling with families enjoying the weekend.
 


 
 
 
 


We stopped by the fair and the Ferris wheel looked lovely against the bright blue sunny sky!
 




We wandered back through the main town, full of lovely shops. We even spotted a chocolate kebab!

Chocolate Shwarma!
 
 
 
The Seahouses is a great place to take a boat trip to the Farne Islands.  Unfortunately we just missed the last boat trip, however still had a nice wander around and an ice cream!
