Blackpool is a city in England that has a lot of beauty to offer visiting travelers. The town is a seaside resort on the coast of North West England. The resort is located on the Irish sea and has a population of 142,065. Despite its small size, the city has a lot to offer, including the world famous Blackpool Illuminations, which first started back in the distant 1879.
The event is classified as a "lights festival," since it was designed to celebrate the first artificial sunshine (as lighting as we know it didn't exist until the 19th century). Once the lights are switched on, they continuously run for 66 days, meaning tourists have ample time to visit the city and enjoy the surroundings, leaving time to spare to visit other parts of England and the UK.
