West Lancs Visitor Guide hits the streets
West Lancashire is more than just a nature lover's dream
destination. So to discover what we have to offer, pick up West
Lancashire Visitor Guide 2008.
This year's handy tourist booklet lists the vast array of
attractions across the district and is a great way to unearth its
abundance of hidden gems.
More than just stretches of lush green countryside, West Lancashire
is a diverse mixture of historical towns and villages, a wildlife
and wetland wonderland with lots of sport and leisure opportunities
but with plenty to do for the family as well as the younger student
generation.
New in the publication for 2008 includes a brand new restaurant
guide because there are so many eating establishments to choose
from. This complements the pubs and inns listings and an extensive
events calendar.
Popular attractions featured include; The Wildlife Trust's Mere
Sands Wood, The Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust Martin Mere, Farmer
Ted's Farm Park, Windmill Animal Farm, The West Lancashire Light
Railway, Scarisbrick Hall, The National Trust's Rufford Old Hall,
Beacon Country Park, The Chapel Gallery, the Ribble Coast and
Wetlands and many more.
There's also a great tourist map inside too so there's no excuse
not to be able to find your way around the district!
Cllr Ian Grant, Portfolio Holder for Regeneration and Planning,
said:"West Lancashire attracts millions of visitors each year who
come to enjoy everything from its peaceful tranquillity to its
bustling market towns, lively night time economy, coastal contrasts
or watery features. So whether you want to have fun with the
family, find out about places to visit, where to stay, dining out,
shopping, markets and various events, pick up a guide today."
The guide is available at Council buildings, County Information
