Amazing Instagrammable Places in Manchester (20+ photography spots)
"As I mentioned just before, Manchester Cathedral is located in the city centre, so you don’t have to walk far. Actually, most of the photo locations in Manchester are located very close to each other, so at no point, you have to walk for more than 20-25 minutes. However, there are free buses in Manchester, so if it rains, you can definitely hop on one and head to Manchester Cathedral."

14 Best Things to Do in Blackpool (Lancashire, England
"A respite from Blackpool’s glossy entertainment and arcades, the resort’s largest park is in 260 acres, a mile east of the promenade. The man behind the park’s design in the 1920s was the landscape architect Thomas Mawson, and he was responsible for a couple of the buildings. The most striking is the cafe, in an Art Deco style and overlooking the Italian Garden, adorned with statues (see the two Medici lions) and a beautiful marble fountain."

"The Grade II listed Stanley Park is certainly Blackpool’s most popular green space, dating back to 1926. That is to say it has everything a family could wish for –  scenic walks around ornamental gardens, natural woodland and lakes, boat hire, tennis courts and football pitches. The park also boasts a number of unique architectural features such as the Cocker Memorial Clock Tower and Art Deco Cafe, which serves delicious lunches."
