Morecambe in General

Morecambe is somewhere I have been going since I was a little girl, it was always somewhere that I loved to go, when I was a kid, there was a great amusement Park called Frontier Land, which I would go to sometimes, normally for special occasions! And also an indoor "water park", called Bubbles, which was great while it lasted, from what I remember it had a couple of water slides, and a wave pool, and an outdoor pool for those summer days of old! There was also Morecambe beach...you may think now...MORECAMBE....BEACH!?!?!?!?!?! Butttt, 20 years ago, the beach was lovely, donkeys and ice cream all round! I used to adore it!!! There was ...  Read the complete review

Morecambe is a seaside town in Lancashire on the Northwest coast line. It has taken some criticism over the last fifteen years or so for being tatty and run down. When I was a child it was a lovely place to go and I have fond memories of playing on the beach and visits to Frontier land amusement park. Alas it has changed drastically since those happy days and yes it has lost its appeal for a lot of people but I feel that the town is not being given a chance, so my review is going to be about the good things to be found there. History: Originally there were three villages Poulton, Torrisholme and Bare, a railway line was ...  Read the complete review

I visited Morecambe as a child and remember going to Frontierland theme park and it being a real seaside town; not on the same scale as Blackpool but still a good day out.... 18 years later I returned as an adult as my boyfriend's family lived in the area and what a surprise driving along the Morecambe seafront. The place is derelict !!! Boarded up shops, the Frontierland theme park is long gone, and it's a sad reminder of what was once a thriving seaside town!! In recent years there has been some money spent on redeveloping the local area. The "iconic" Midland Hotel has been renovated... it looks great but being honest I'm not sure why ...  Read the complete review

Morecambe used to be a nice town twelve years ago they had frontier land theme park for the children, ok it wasn't as good as Blackpool Pleasure Beach but it had enough to keep the family entertained. Now that has all been closed down and tatty wooden boards that were erected a good few years back line all the front of the old park. The polo tower is still standing but looks an eye sore. To be quite honest the whole area that end of the front looks tatty and not very welcoming. To be fair to the town there has been a lot of cleaning up and changes further along the front, the beach has been cleaned up and a nice walk way along the centre of the front ...  Read the complete review

Ok - A little different, I know... but I am going to tell you the positives about Morecambe. It appear to have had quite a bit of negative wrote about it on here and I just thought I'd tell the other side. Why do I like morecambe? Easy really - the view across Morecambe bay is like no other - across the magnificent sweep of Morecambe Bay to the Lakeland Fells - Spectacular. The walks are fantastic, and it is quiet and very beautiful in places. Yes I will admit that like any other town it has its less pleasant areas, but where doesn't! Walk across Morecambe promenade and you find award-winning public art, golden sandy beaches ...  Read the complete review
