Skegness

Skegness is the largest resort town on the Lincolnshire Coast and has been a premier holiday destination for over a hundred years. Relax on the European award winning beach stretching out towards the sea. The miles of sandy beaches make it perfect for walking your dog. Everything you could want is here, clean sand, great attractions and many other facilities along the promenade and seafront. The new Gibraltar Point nature reserve visitor centre provides a great vantage point for viewing out to the Wash.

There is so much to do in Skegness, it's difficult to know where to start. For animal lovers, there is Natureland seal sanctuary and animal centre and the brand new Aquarium. Church Farm museum, the Pier, crazy golf, ten-pin bowling, shopping, and the beautifully landscaped foreshore offers something for everyone. The nightlife is great too, whether you enjoy a show at the Embassy theatre, eating out or clubbing.

Perched on the official 'drier side of Britain', Skegness is a seaside resort that's small enough to offer a friendly atmosphere but large enough to provide hours of entertainment. Until the town's first rail link was built in the mid 1870s, Skegness had been little more than a village with fewer than 400 residents, most of whom earned a living as fishermen or farm labourers.

Once the trains began rolling into town, Skegness soon burst into life as the successful seaside resort we know today. The frequent rail excursions gave rise to one of the town's best known icons - the cheerful and irrepressible Jolly Fisherman. His 'birth' in 1908 came at the hand of artist John Hassall. The character was created for an advertising poster at the request of the Great Northern Railway Company
