14 Best Things to Do in Blackpool (Lancashire, England
"The oldest and longest of Blackpool’s three piers, the North Pier is from 1863 and juts out for half a kilometre. It is the only pier of the three to have English Heritage listed status, and like its neighbours to the south the North Pier has survived storms, fires and crashes with boats over the last 160 years. The pier was intended to have a genteel ambience, charging visitors for entry until the 2000s and boasting some beautiful Victorian details like a wrought iron canopy in the Carousel bar at the pier-head."

"The North Pier is the oldest and longest of Blackpool's piers, and is the only one to hold Grade II listed building status. Today, it's a more relaxed alternative to the hustle and bustle of the other two piers and it retains much of its traditional charm. There are a number of attractions including a gypsy palm reader, a 1,564 seat theatre, a Victorian tea room, a traditional carousel and an arcade, which is thought to have around 11 million coins pass through its machines each years."
