The financial guru recommended the coastal destination following a recent family holiday and we couldn't agree more, although we do have a money-saving tip for him
Stepping away from his usual financial advice, Martin Lewis has recommended a holiday destination to his fans - and it might surprise you. The Money Saving Expert founder said his family “love” Blackpool and praised its “wide sandy beach, rides…water parks and more.”
Although Blackpool is a firm favourite of us up north, Martin pointed out that his friends who live down South aren’t too keen on the idea of visiting the famous seaside town, so he wanted to highlight the town to his followers. He wrote: “We were in Blackpool a couple of weeks ago. I loved it as a kid and wanted to share that joy with mini MSE, so this was actually her third time there and she loves it, as do we.
“Huge great, long, wide sandy beach; rides at the pleasure beach, tuppenny machines, water parks and more. When I mention it to other friends who live in the SE, most look askance at the idea of a couple of days in Blackpool. Yet they've never been. So I wanted to pop up and say a good word. Do it right and it's a joy.”
Although you can get to Blackpool directly on the train from Manchester, or drive, one of the cheapest ways to travel there is by coach - and a ticket will cost you less than a fiver. I caught the National Express coach on a recent visit and it cost as little as £4 for a one way ticket - a lot less that the £14 for an average adult single rail ticket.
