Excursions in Southport

Hey there, fellow adventure seekers! Are you ready to explore the charming coastal town of Southport? Well, buckle up because Foxiepass is here to take you on a whirlwind tour of this hidden gem on the North West coast of England. Trust me, you're in for a treat!

Southport Pier: A Walk to Remember

Let's kick things off with the crown jewel of Southport - the pier. Now, I know what you're thinking, "It's just a pier, right?" Wrong! This isn't your average seaside structure. At 1,108 meters long, it's the second-longest pleasure pier in Britain. I once spent an entire afternoon here, and let me tell you, the views are to die for. You can even hop on the pier tram if you're feeling a bit lazy (no judgment here, we've all been there).

Botanical Gardens: A Floral Paradise

Next up on our Foxiepass tour is the Botanical Gardens. Now, I'm no green thumb, but even I can appreciate the beauty of this place. It's like stepping into a living, breathing painting. The Victorian fernery is a personal favorite - it's like traveling back in time to the era of top hats and corsets, but with more ferns.

Lord Street: Shopping and Architecture Galore

Alright, shopaholics, this one's for you. Lord Street is a shopper's paradise, but it's not just about the retail therapy. The street is lined with stunning Victorian architecture that'll make you feel like you've stumbled onto a movie set. Fun fact: this street supposedly inspired the wide boulevards of Paris. So, you can pretend you're in France without the jet lag!

Southport Beach: Sun, Sand, and... Sculptures?

No trip to Southport is complete without a visit to the beach. But this isn't your average stretch of sand. Keep an eye out for the iron men sculptures by Antony Gormley. These mysterious figures standing in the sea are part of his "Another Place" installation. They're pretty cool, if a bit eerie. Just don't try to strike up a conversation with them - trust me, I've tried.

Splash World: For the Young (and Young at Heart)

If you're traveling with kids (or you're just a big kid yourself), Splash World is a must-visit. It's an indoor water park that's perfect for those typically British rainy days. I once went down the Abyss slide and let out a scream that I'm pretty sure they heard in Liverpool. Good times!

British Lawnmower Museum: Yes, You Read That Right

Now, I know what you're thinking. A lawnmower museum? Really? But hear me out. This quirky little place is surprisingly fascinating. Where else can you see lawnmowers owned by Prince Charles and Princess Diana? It's the kind of random, off-beat attraction that makes for great stories when you get home.
