Blimy Flashy, looks like you've pretty much been everywhere I was thinking of, Hyndburn Sports Centre have free swimming for kids this Easter hols!

Re: where can i go?
 

considering it is Easter , maybe a visit to a Church wouldn't go amiss.

what do you want to do when you get there? look at buildings, go shopping, etc? how about staying round here and visiting places like Only Foals and Horses? or Bleakholt animal sanctuary. or do a project on history of Accy. Look at the old buildings we have, investigate the Crest, get him to find out what life would have been like for a 10 YO 100 years ago in Accy.

if you must get away, Southport is nice, plenty of run around space, a pleasure beach, boating lake, minature train, shopping streets, family pubs for lunch.

If he is into cars, warton Stock cars is a fun day out. I believe its banger racing this weekend (8th) which is hilarious.

i never thought about that ian, nice one

on the other hand, southport is crap...there is no pleasureland there anymore, they closed it down last year

where's warton?

Re: where can i go?
 

just outside carnforth. Get off the train at carnforth and its a short taxi ride. I'm not sure if there are any buses, ringing carnforth tourist info would yield more info I'm sure.

Glasgow is a great place to visit by train.

There are some great museums and galleries.:)

Flashy...I misinformed you.....It is Rigby's coaches who are doing the Good Friday trip....Fraser Eagle are doing the Easter Saturday trip.

It is a lovely place to visit - many little shops, cobbled alleyways.....The whale bone arch, the Abbey.....and delicious Fish and Chips at Trenchers (not cheap - but the fish is so fresh that the sea hasn't missed it yet)
If you go look out for the open topped bus that will take you around the resort....OK a ticket is around £3, but you can get on and off wherever you want.....have a look at the things that interest you and then hop back on for a bit more of a ride. This ticket also allows entry to a little museum too.
Lovely place...seaside too!
