What did The Telegraph say about Blackpool's piers?

The Telegraph said: “Trust Blackpool, that big-haired angel of the north west, to up the ante – by having a trio of elevated promenades above the sea.

“Of the triptych, the North Pier is the oldest (hewn in 1863), the Central Pier the most picturesque (thanks to its vast ferris wheel) and the South Pier the most thrilling – with its Crazy Coaster.”

Blackpool’s piers have also been reviewed on Tripadvisor with the Central Pier receiving a 3.5-star rating from 1,563 reviews.

One visitor said: “Brilliant arcade and stalls and again like North Pier a lovely walk across the sea, friendly staff and great prizes.”

Another said: “A colourful exciting projection into the sea has something probably for nearly everyone. Most outstanding is the big wheel, but it is far from being alone.

“It was an enjoyable stroll along dipping in and out of the attractions.”
