17. Comedy Carpet
There’s nothing like the British sense of humour, and a visit to Blackpool's Comedy Carpet is a bit like a trip to the Hollywood Walk of Fame; but immortalising and celebrating the jokes, songs and comedy catchphrases of Britain’s most well loved comedians and writers. | Immanuel Giel

18. Searching for sea glass on the Fylde coast
Sea glass is ordinary glass which has been physically and chemically weathered by the sea and the shore to create a naturally frosted glass. It can take anything from 20-40 years to form and some of it could have been in the sea for 100-200 years! | Ryanx7 Photo: Ryanx7

19. The Whitaker Museum & Art Gallery
The Whitaker Museum has been part of the cultural life of the Rossendale Valley for over one hundred years. Set in the beautiful Whitaker Park in Rawtenstall, it’s a great day out for all. | The Whitaker Museum & Art Gallery

20. Clitheroe Castle Museum
With panoramic views across the Ribble Valley, Clitheroe Castle is perched above the town of Clitheroe where it has dominated the skyline for 800 years. Beyond the castle walls, visitors will find a museum and gift shop making it a must-see destination for all the family. | Contributed
