Cardigan in Wales is a surprise, yet deserved, inclusion in the list but this coastal village should feel hard done by
Time Out has revealed annual top 15 Best UK Places to Visit in 2023. And no matter how many times we look at it and hope we have misread, there's not a single Lancashire village, town or city on the list. Inexplicable.
Tourist and big-name heavyweights such as Manchester and Edinburgh have been included, while the whole counties of Cheshire and Dorset also get a look in. But still no room for our beautifully brilliant Red Rose county. As a result, we've taken a deep dive into what makes Cardigan stand-out to see if Lancashire can offer something similar and we've realised Heysham is almost a mirror-image.
Heysham is Morecambe Bay's diamond in the rough and oozes colour and character, staying true to its industrial past with its port still busy and used as a gateway to shipping goods to the Irish Sea and further afield. From Half Moon Bay shore you can soak in the views out over the bay, with the Lakeland Fells floating on the horizon and the emblematic chimneys of Heysham Power Station in the distance.
St Patrick’s Chapel ruins dominate the 'things you must see' list for visitors to Heysham. The ruins are thought to date back to as early as the eighth century and today highlight the area's archaeological past, with people living in and around Heysham since the Stone Age.
