Southport attractions |
|
 Southport lies in the county of Lancashire which takes
its name from the city of Lancaster and is sometimes known as
the County of Lancaster. To the west of the county are miles
of sandy coastline with some of Britain's most popular seaside
resorts, while to the east you will find open countryside, rugged
fells and moorland. Lancashire is home to the Forest of Bowland,
the picturesque Ribble and Lune Valleys, nature reserves and
several country parks. The towns of Burnley, Blackburn and Chorley
offer visitor attractions that reflect their once important role
as the cotton-weaving centre of Britain. |
