The village pubs are normally busy but if you head to the city centre you will have more choice. Lots of cool bars in the city centre, 10 min taxi ride. Drive to the Trafford Centre in Manchester in 35mins. Manchester City Centre also has great shops & bars. Or to Liverpool, 40 mins for a day at Liverpool One. The Lake District is approx 45 mins drive and is breathtakingly beautiful. Great walks, surfing, sailing, water sports, cycling, shopping, restaurants etc... We are about 20mins from the Fylde Coast where you will find beautiful beaches and restaurants. Also close to Blackpool Pleasure Beach if you like the thrill of roller coasters.
