In the present economic climate many people are having to taking a close look at their way of life and trying to reduce expenditure. One way in which many are saving is to have an English vacation the reason being that the British Pound is so weak against other currencies and this means that vacations abroad for those living in the U.K. are more expensive than in years gone by and far less expensive for visitors coming from other countries. In the following article I introduce the seaside resort of Southport, in Merseyside, England.

Southport is a exquisite seaside resort situated on the English North West coast. Visitor attractions include, Lord Street, Wayfarers’ Arcade, Churchtown village, the Botanic Gardens at Churchtown, Churchtown village and more. Lord Street is the main street in Southport. All down one side of the street the broad pavement are covered by superb Victorian iron work and a row of deciduous trees closer to the road.

On the opposite side of the road you will find small areas of gardens, garden beds, fountains and a bandstand. At the centre of Lord Street is most probably the most imposing war memorials in England with an obelisk in the middle and two other monuments on either side which have large columns.

Lord Street has some of Southport’s finest architecture and it is where you will find the enchanting Wayfarers’ Arcade.

At the end of Lord Street is the incredibly beautiful Hesketh Park. Hesketh Park gets its name from the Hesketh family just like Lord Street the park has plenty of trees. Hesketh Park also features hidden gardens, a bandstand, glass house, play park and more but most prominent is the lovely lake.

At Churchtown you will find another wonderful park, the Botanic Gardens which features a river/lake which features the usual ducks and swans plus a bridge and boating plus if you enjoy birds and animals the gardens also has a tiny zoo, just opposite the museum and cafe. Churchtown village itself is a gorgeous collection of old houses, cottages and fishermen’s cottages mostly white and small number feature a thatched roof. It is crucially important that you take a walk around and that you look around carefully because there are a few hidden gems well worth the trouble to discover.

Finding Southport bed & breakfast is relatively easy with a varied number of Southport guest houses and hotels taking bookings online. There are hotels for all budgets and tastes from from luxurious to cheap and cheerful in Southport’s town centre or just outside.
