3 days in Blackpool with older parents

Three days based in Blackpool, built around short drives and long lunches rather than a packed list. Day one keeps everything close: Holker Hall, then just 1.8 miles to The Pheasant Inn, which holds a 5/5 food hygiene rating and opens from noon every day. Day two stretches a little further for Wyresdale Park, with The Stork 5.2 miles on — also 5/5, and serving from 08:00. Day three is the gentlest, with 3.5 miles between Hackensall Hall and The Tramway.

For a base, Greenbank Farm sleeps five and sits 1.2 miles from Kirkham & Wesham station, while West Boundary Farm Cottage 1 sleeps four and is 4.6 miles from Fleetwood beach, rated Good for bathing water by the Environment Agency. Arriving by train, Blackpool North is the nearest station. Nothing here needs rushing — the mileage does the work so you don't have to.
