One way in which many are saving is to have an English vacation the reason being that the £ has lost ground against other currencies leading to the situation that foriegn vacations for the British are expensive than in years past and much less expensive for those visitors coming from Europe and America.

Southport is a exquisite seaside town found on the North West coast of England. Visitor attractions include, Lord Street, Wayfarers’ Arcade, Churchtown village, the Botanic Gardens at Churchtown, Churchtown village and more. Lord Street is Southport’s main street. All the way along one side of Lord Street the paving stones are covered by ornate Victorian iron work together with a row of lush green trees closer to the road. On the other side of the street you will discover a Victorian bandstand, beautiful flower beds, gardens and fountains. At the very of Lord Street is most probably the most luxuriant war memorials in the UK with a centrally placed obelisk and 2 other memorials on either 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 discover the Victorian Wayfarers’ Arcade.

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.
You will find another wonderful park, the Botanic Gardens in Chruchtown which has a large area of water set out like a river with boating, a bridge, ducks, swans and other wildlife and if animals and birds are your thing the gardens also has a tiny zoo, just across the way from the cafe and museum.
