Geography of Blackpool

Blackpool is located on the southwest coast of the county of Lancashire, and forms part of the Fylde, a piece of land jutting into the Irish Sea, separated from the rest of the county by the foothills of the Pennines.

The Fylde is characterized by its rolling hills, pleasant river valleys, flat plains and long stretches of beach. To the east the land begins to rise near the town of Garstang, culminating in the deep gorges of the Ribble Valley region. There are several river systems running through the Fylde, including the Brock, Calder, Hodder, Lune, Ribble, and Wyre, as well as the Lancaster Canal.

Lancashire itself comprises a variety of soil and terrain; there being mountains of more than 2000 feet high, in the north and eastern parts, with wide moorlands or heaths amongst them; extensive bogs or mosses, which yield only turf for fuel, and are very dangerous. It yields iron, coal, slate, and other building-stones. Grazing is more attended to than agriculture. The fisheries, both in the rivers and the sea, are valuable, and there are two considerable lake systems, Windermere and Coniston Water.

The Blackpool area boasts a number of excellent parks and woodland areas, exemplified by the peaceful Stanley Park, with its picturesque lake and putting greens. If it's stunning natural scenery you are after, try heading for the Ribble Valley or further afield to the spectacular Lake District.
