Spent 3 nights here for a short break. The site was up to all the normal high standards and the engaging wardens appeared to go the extra mile by providing additional daily information on a chalk board of things for us to see, do and get involved in. This was also evident in the information hut with details of where motorhomes could get parked in Blackpool with post codes to find them easily by sat nav. Its location, close to the M55 and major 70 mph dual carriageways meant there was some traffic noise which is more evident early morning when the workers are on the move. There are no real footpaths in the area that will take you safely anywhere and so you have to venture onto the road to get to the bus stops by foot. The once excellent bus timetable from the stop close by at DWP Peel Park has now been reduced to only 4 busses in a morning, the last being 0921 and 4 returning, the last departing the town centre at 1636. These are to enable people to get to and from work at DWP but no one seems to use them, hence the much reduced timetable. A £5 ticket enables full 24 hour travel, including the 11 miles of coastal trams, and we found it very easy to use despite the short window to catch the buses in. We did not fancy the walk to TESCO’s where there was a very frequent service all day. See my story of our visit in the Forum UK stories section for more information.
