You can't go to Blackpool without going on to one of the piers, their a study in design and engineering from years gone by, which unfortunately is beginning to tell , a lot of the ornate railings have rusted completely through and are boarded off though you can still sit on the original seating which runs down both sides, some of the original decking is still in place as well as some replacements but they've gone for the cheap and easy fix of putting big sheets of marine ply down which does spoil the look somewhat. There's a few little refreshment kiosks along the length as well as very small fair at the end, price wise it's completely free just to wonder along and enjoy the sea breeze and views of the promenade or the Irish sea and to be fair the kiosks aren't badly priced I had a triple scoop ice-cream in a large cornet (there was a lot of ice-cream) and it cost £4, in comparison I've paid the same for a small cone with one scoop in Windermere
