A 50-minute drive along the coast from Blackpool will take you to Morecambe Bay, where you can walk along the prom and see the statue dedicated to local comedy duo Morecambe and Wise.

The fascinating Lancashire witch trials of the 19th century are commemorated at the Pendle Heritage Centre (1 hour, 5 minutes from Blackpool), while the industrial heritage of the north can be explored at the Museum of Science and Industry and through the works of LS Lowry at The Lowry art gallery, a little further afield in Manchester and Salford (1 hour, 23 minutes, and 57 minutes away, respectively).
