BLACKPOOL

Lancashire's famous resort of Blackpool still have a working-class flavor. Candy floss and donkey rides on the beach, fish and chips and "Kiss Me Quick" hats, nightclubs and fairgrounds, guest houses run by matronly landladies - the North's top seaside resort is unashamedly unpretentious and brash. More famous than its 7 miles of sandy beaches and its three piers are the landmark Blackpool Tower modelled on the Eiffel Tower in Paris; Blackpool Pleasure Beach with 140 rides and entertainments including a dozen rollercoasters; in September and October, the glittering light show of the Blackpool Illuminations. With an abundance of award-winning attractions, Blackpool has something for everyone.

BLACKPOOL TOWER AND ILLUMINATIONS

Built in 1894, The Blackpool Tower is one of the most iconic buildings in the UK and one of Britain’s best-loved landmarks. It houses five amazing attractions, perfect for a fun-packed day for all to enjoy. A beautiful brick building and iconic tower which is worth visiting for the architecture as much as the attractions within. Great views from the top and the glass walkway is always a good test of your nerves.

CHARLESTON

Charleston is a city with a style. A style all its own ... upbeat, cosmopolitan, contemporary, yet friendly and full of down-home hospitality. West Virginia's largest city is a vibrant and progressive state capital that is also a hub of regional coal and chemical commerce. The city's riverfront skyline is distinguished by gleaming towers of commerce forming a backdrop for its collection of classic Art Nouveau and Deco buildings. First-class hotels, fine restaurants, a large civic center and the two downtown shopping areas are all within easy walking distance.

In Charleston you can dine and dance on a riverboat, get caught up in the excitement of greyhound dog racing, walk along the tree-lined riverbank or while away the hours in museums and art galleries. Charleston is a great place to visit and a great place to live.
