At this present time many families are having to taking a look at their way of life and trying to save cash. One way in which many are reducing expenditure is to take a vacation in the United Kingdom of Great Britain the reason for which is that the British pound is so weak against other currencies leading to the situation that vacations abroad for those living in the U.K. are more costly than in decades past and dramatically cheaper for tourists travelling from elsewhere in the world. In the article below I introduce you to the seaside town of Southport, in the North West of England.
Southport is a exquisite town situated on the North West coast of England. Tourist attractions include, Churchtown village, the Botanic Gardens at Churchtown, Churchtown village, Southport Pier, Lord Street, Wayfarers’ Arcade, Hesketh Park and more. Lord Street is the main shopping area in Southport. All the way down one side of the street the broad pavement are covered by ornate Victorian iron work plus a fine row of deciduous trees lining the road. On the facing side of Lord Street there are hugely colourful flower gardens and small gardens, pools and fountains and a superb Victorian bandstand. At the very of Lord Street is more than likely the most incredible war monuments in the UK with an obelisk in the middle and two further monuments on each side which feature huge columns. It is along Lord Street that you will find some of the finest architecture in Southport and it is where you will find another Victorian masterpiece, Wayfarers’ Arcade.
The incredibly beautiful Hesketh Park is found at the end of Lord Street. Hesketh Park gets its name from the Hesketh family just as Lord Street has plenty of trees the park also benefits from extensive tree plantings. There are beautiful hidden areas to be discovered, a play park, glass house, bandstand and more to be found within Hesketh Park however the most prominent feature is the gorgeous lake.
Another wonderful park, the Botanic Gardens, are to be found in Churchtown which features a river/lake featuring boating, a bridge, ducks, swans and other wildlife and if you enjoy animals and birds the gardens also has a small zoo, just in front of the cafe and museum. The village of Churchtown is a graceful number of ancient fishermen’s cottages, cottages and houses the majority of which are white and small number have a roof of thatch. It is vitally important that you explore on foot and that you look around carefully because there are a few hidden gems well worth the work to find.
