Local Attractions To Bowses Hill Farm
One of the best things about staying at Bowses Hill Farm is just how much there is to do nearby. Whether you’re planning a day by the sea, family-friendly adventures, a cosy café stop, or a peaceful countryside walk, you’ll never be short of options. Blackpool is just 20 minutes away and offers all the classic seaside fun you’d expect. Take in the spectacular views from Blackpool Tower, step back in time at the Tower Ballroom, or if you’re feeling adventurous, let your heart race on the rides at Blackpool Pleasure Beach. Families will also love Blackpool Zoo, and SEA LIFE Blackpool is a fantastic option if the weather isn’t on your side. In the autumn, the famous Blackpool Illuminations are not to be missed – wrap up warm, grab some fish and chips, and stroll along the promenade to enjoy the lights and atmosphere.
If you prefer a slower pace, the nearby village of Poulton-le-Fylde, just 5 minutes away, is full of charm and friendliness. Spend the morning browsing independent shops, pause for a coffee or lunch in one of the local cafés, or enjoy a meal at a welcoming pub. The Monday Market is well worth a visit for fresh local produce and handmade goodies, while families can stretch their legs at Jean Stansfield Memorial Park. There are also plenty of walking and cycling routes through the surrounding countryside, perfect for taking in the fresh air.
For something even closer, Preesall has a handful of cafés and restaurants just a few minutes’ drive from the farm, making it easy to grab a quick coffee, a slice of cake, or enjoy a relaxed meal without travelling far.
Whether you’re chasing the excitement of the seaside or simply want to slow down and enjoy the peace of the countryside, Bowses Hill Farm is the perfect base to explore, unwind, and make memories at your own pace.
