Wilson House Holiday Park

Walks, walks and more walks are all around if that’s your thing: if you’re feeling especially active the big challenge is the North Lancashire Loop, a 108-mile trail that passes right by the park. Too exhausting? Panic not – there are plenty of more manageable routes around as well. And if you want to take in a whole lot of scenery at once (and at speed)? There’s a parachute centre 20 minutes away by car. Ever watched curling on TV and wondered whether you’d be any good with the broom? Head to Flower Bowl Entertainment Centre (15 minutes) to slither out onto the ice and have a go. There’s also bowling, a cinema and a crazy golf course here, along with a golf simulator where you can warm up for a round at Knott End Golf Club (15 minutes). Although you’ve not brought kids, along, there’s no reason why you can’t enjoy a bit of old-fashioned seaside fun. Blackpool (20 minutes) is a tiptop place for all that – head here to visit the zoo, the pleasure beach and model village, or waltz your way around the dancefloor at the Tower Ballroom before getting fish and chips on the beach.
