Southport is one of the twelfth largest settlements in North West England and has a population of just under 100,000.

Sotuhport was founded when Hotel Southport was established at the south end of Lord Street way back in 1792 and it was historically part of Lancashire. The place was inhabited by sand dunes during that time and has a very little population. Because of the easy and convenient access from the nearby Leeds and Liverpool Canal, it became a popular tourist destination in the turn of 19th century. The town develops swiftly because of the sudden growth happening in simultaneously with the Industrial Revolution and the Victorian era.

Southport is located on the Irish Sea coast of North West England.  The town lies conveniently to the north of the well known city of Liverpool and west of the city of Preston. Extensive sand dunes stretch for several miles to the south of town. The Ainsdale sand dunes have been recognized as a National Nature Reserve in England, making it a tranquil location for relaxation and wonderful pictures.

 One of the most sought after perks of a trip to Southport is walk through the popular Hesketh Park.  This gorgeous amenity is a public park situated near the north end of Lord Street in the Victorian seaside town. Rich in history itself, the land Hesketh Park occupies was once sand dunes and beach.  As the tides receded and the town of Southport grew, the need for a park was proposed. At that time; the land was possessed by Reverent Charles Hesketh.

 He generously donated the land for use as a public park. Hesketh Parkwas originally designed as a public park in the mid-19th century by Edward Kemp, and was further developed in the 20th century. The land has many Victorian features and landscape designs and is a breathtaking addition to the sand dunes and otherwise seaside atmosphere in Southport.

 Southport is abounding with culture, history and beauty.  It is the primary tourist spot for your England trip.
