A good place to visit, especially for a short break in the sun if you live in the Midlands (Skegness in General)

Advantages: Plenty of things to keep you busy

Disadvantages: A part of the area has recently been devastated by fire, though these areas will be rebuilt soon

I have been visiting the Skegness area, ever since I was born nearly 29 years ago! Skegness itself hasn't changed too much in this time, though alot of the surrounding areas are now unrecognisable from back then. For example, Ingoldmells used to be a quiet seaside village with a busy outdoor market. Now it is the home of a big theme park, all built in a very small area. To be honest, I prefer the old Ingoldmells.

Skegness is a great place to visit if you fancy a weekend away somewhere. There are plenty of bars, restaurants and amusement arcades. For kids, there's a funfair, bowling, lots of crazy golf courses, a park and Panda's Palace, which is a large softplay facility.

It is quite busy in large areas of Skeggy, but there quite a few quiet areas, including the park and boating lake - where you can feed the ducks (though you are not meant to!)

Skegness has over the past two years been devastated by two fires though. This has cost the town a large bar and restaurant complex, an amusement arcade, two other bars and a chippy. Work is currently underway though to build a new amusement arcade, and exciting plans are in place for a new bar/restaurant complex.

Summary: Well worth a visit
