The Black Pearl New Brighton

The Black Pearl is an interactive artwork to be enjoyed by all age groups it has been created and maintained by a small group of pasionate pirates. Allow your imagination to soar or just absorb the work and detail in the carefully selected driftwood and ships ropes. There are many sculptures and carvings to be found on and around the ship . If your lucky you may even find treasure in her treasure chest. The golden sands surrounding The Pearl are cleaned every day and perfect for the children to play on. The area of Cosy Cove is loved and treasured by the local community who always keep a close eye on her. Pirates At Art

Castlerigg Stone Circle

Dating from about 3000 BC, this is one of the first stone circles built in Britain, which is perched atop a high moor with spectacular views of the surrounding landscape.

Reviewed By 90josephr - Cumbria, United Kingdom

Castlerigg Stone Circle on the outskirts of Keswick is a magical place. It is one of the oldest remaining stone circles in the British Isles, older than Stonehenge, and easily accessible either on foot, by bicycle or in a vehicle. The site is owned by the National Trust with free access to all. Standing in the middle of the Neolithic stone circle the stunning views of the surrounding fells (mountains) and valleys can seem subtly different as the clouds above pass overhead. When the cloud cover is above the fells the higher Lakeland peaks that can be seen from this dramatic amphitheatre include Helvellyn, Blencathra and Skiddaw. There are ample and free parking spaces on the adjacent road. Go through the kissing gates and there are recently restored information boards explaining the history and heritage of the stone circle. Follow in the footsteps of countless generations of scholars, writers, poets, artists and photographers and soak in the wonders of this enchanting location.

Ribble Valley

The largest district in Lancashire.

Reviewed By Happiness666661

First time staying in a glamping pod and visiting the Ribble valley. The glamping pod was very clean and comfortable. There was a large field with a goal and some footballs which was welcomed by my two sons The fire pit was used every night to cook our BBQ food and toast marshmallows with a lovely sunset We were fortunate to have glorious hot weather and we used the river 800m walk from the campsite to cool off. We visited Ribchester on our bikes which was 3miles away and had an ice cream by the river We also climbed up Pendle hill which was a steep challenge. The owners,Martyn and Anna were so welcoming and gave assistance when my son had a puncture and gave us a repair kit. Overall the site, owners and surrounding areas was outstanding and not only will we like to come back, we have also recommended this to friends and family to enjoy this experience.

Blackpool Tower Ballroom

Ornately decorated dance hall and theater is known for its Mighty Wurlitzer organ, which is played for dancing, concerts and special events during certain times of the year.

Reviewed By johnanddavid - Radlett, United Kingdom

The Blackpool Tower Ballroom remains one of the great jewels in Blackpool's crown. The moment you walk through those doors, you are transported back to what seems like a bygone age of grace and civility, in surroundings of slightly faded (part of its charm) beauty and glamour. There is a licenced bar and it is also a fantastic place to enjoy a cup of tea and a slice of delicious cake, whilst listening to the classic tunes played superbly on the magnificent Wurlitzer organ and watching the dancers 'take to the floor'. The Blackpool Tower Ballroom is just a lovely, majestic place to while away a couple of hours and to escape from the hurly-burly of everyday life.
