As one of the United Kingdom’s largest coastal resort, Blackpool has plenty to offer its residents - it’s not just a good place to work; it’s a great place to live.

Further afield, Blackpool also benefits from less than three-hour connections via rail to Edinburgh in the north and London in the south.
