Beach Days and Seaside Escapes Near Goosnargh Lodge Park
One of the best things about owning a luxury lodge at Goosnargh Lodge Park is just how much variety you’ve got close by. You’re tucked away in the peace and quiet of the Ribble Valley, surrounded by countryside walks, rolling fields and charming villages, but you’re also within easy reach of the coast when you fancy a change of scenery.
That means you don’t have to choose between countryside and seaside. One weekend you could be out trying one of the many Forest of Bowland walking routes or exploring local villages, and the next you could be breathing in fresh sea air, wandering along the beach, or grabbing fresh fish and chips by the sea. It’s all part of what makes this location so easy to enjoy all year round.*
Morecambe
Under an hour’s drive from Goosnargh, Morecambe Bay is a go-to for classic seaside days out. With its wide promenade, sweeping coastal views and famous sunsets, it’s an easy place to spend a relaxed day by the sea with family or friends.
You’ll find all the familiar touches of a traditional British seaside town: fish and chips by the sea, ice cream along the promenade, and plenty of space for a leisurely stroll or dog walk along the shoreline. On clearer days, you can even see across to the Lake District mountains, which adds an extra something special to the view.
Lytham St Annes
If you’re after a slightly different pace, Lytham St Annes offers long sandy beaches, rolling dunes, and a charming seafront feel. St Annes Beach is ideal for long walks, paddling in the shallows, or simply relaxing on the sand with a picnic or a good book. The Victorian pier and pretty town centre add to the appeal, with cafés, independent shops, and traditional seaside treats just a short walk away.
It’s a perfect destination for a slower-paced beach day, whether you’re visiting with family or enjoying a quiet solo escape.
Blackpool
If you’re looking for something more lively, Blackpool is just over half an hour away from Goosnargh Lodge Park and offers a completely different kind of coastal day out.
From the iconic Blackpool Tower and Pleasure Beach to the bustling promenade and golden sands, you’ll find something here to keep all ages entertained. It’s a great option for a full day out, especially if you want a mix of seaside resort and classic attractions.
And when you’re ready for peace and quiet again, you can head back to the calm of your own luxury lodge at Goosnargh.
Quieter Coastal Spots
There are also plenty of quieter places along the coast if you’re looking to get away from the crowds, especially in summer, and slow things down a bit.
Fleetwood Beach is an excellent option for long, open walks along the sand, while Cleveleys offers a relaxed promenade with sea views and interesting sculptures along the way.
For something a little different, Heysham is well worth a visit. With its small port, rocky shoreline and historic village feel, it’s a peaceful spot with some lovely coastal views, especially on a clear day.
The Wyre Estuary Country Park is another great option, with nature trails, wildlife and calm waterside paths, perfect for a family outing and some fresh sea air.
