Located in Lancashire, Morecambe is a seaside gem that sits pretty on the expansive Morecambe Bay. Officially named in 1889, this town has an engaging history, once a prominent seaside resort that attracted holiday-makers from Yorkshire and Scotland in its heyday.

Morecambe has seen its share of highs and lows, from its mid-20th-century pinnacle to an unfortunate slump following the unfortunate demise of a couple of its key attractions. Recently, however, the town has turned the tide, positioning itself as a hub for those intrigued by the avian world, building a reputation as a prime destination for birdwatchers.

Slated to be the home to an £80 million project known as Eden Project North, Morecambe's commitment to highlight and preserve marine life through the creation of biodomes establishes its ambitions for future tourism. A vast number of educational establishments, the richness of local culture embodied in live music venues such as More Music and the Platform, and the local football club, Morecambe F.C, contribute to the lifeblood of this coastal settlement.

Visitors to this town will find unique landmarks gracing the vicinity, including the statue commemorating Eric Morecambe, the partially renovated Morecambe Winter Gardens, formerly the Victoria Pavilion and the architectural gem, the Midland Hotel. In between exploring the town and relishing its local delicacy, potted shrimps, visitors relish the literary association with Alan Bennett, who featured Morecambe in his works.
