Shopping In Blackpool
If you live or are on holiday in the Lancashire seaside resort of Blackpool in Lancashire you may be wondering which are the best shops to visit here?
The same applies if you are looking for a particular business or a needed service in Blackpool....
As with most other towns and cities in England (UK) you can expect to find the normal "run of the mill" shops that sell clothes, diy goods, shoes, food and drink products, stationery, and everything else that is just part of normal day-to-day living shopping.
It always worth remembering though that the Lancashire resort of Blackpool is one of the most visited resorts in the north of England, and is famous for not only its Golden Mile run of amusement arcades, ice cream shops, coffee kiosks, and candy-floss stalls, but also for its lovely modernised sea-front promenade.
Other attractions well worth a visit in this seaside town are the memorable Pleasure Beach rides attraction (like a massive theme park in itself), the three historic Blackpool Piers, the flat sandy beach, countless fish and chip shops, it's buzzing night life and pub scene, and much more.
Planning a stay here for one day or more? Maybe think about visiting the famous Blackpool Zoo? This is one of the most famous and popular attractions that Blackpool has to offer too.

Getting Around The Shops in Blackpool On a Mobility Scooter
For those visitors as well as people whom live in Blackpool, and who are not as steady on their feet as they used to be, using a mobility scooter could be the ideal way to get around the shops and the resort in-general.
With Blackpool having flat pavements and streets the terrain is well suited to mobility scooter users.
The same goes for access to most of its major shops and stores. Most have large door openings and easy access for wheelchair users as well as scooter users.
Even most of the medium to large sized gift shops here are quite accessible, including those on all three of Blackpools Piers.
If large shopping centres are your preference when it comes to shopping, take a visit to the Houndshill shopping centre, situated on Bank Hey Street this large centre is home to a large range of popular shops including Boots the chemist, clothes shops from Amparo, Bang, Jack and Jones, New Look, Next, Primark and River Island.
For health and beauty shopping at the Houndshill centre expect to find Bodycare, Superdrug, and the Body Shop.
