Situated on the north east coast of Northern Ireland, Larne is a coastal and industrial market town, with a population of just over 18,000 people. The only ferry route from Larne is the daily crossing to Cairnryan, which lasts around two hours. Larne is a hotbed of natural beauty; the coastal road and Gleno Waterfall are arguably the two most popular tourist destinations belonging to the town, with views so striking that visitors often return to them a second time. Carnfun Country park also lies relatively near Larne, a popular area with caravanners due to its camping facilities and welcoming atmosphere. Carnfun isn’t the only park in the vicinity, there are several dotted around the region, perfect for a stroll in the afternoon sun. For something a bit off the beaten track, Northern Ireland’s maze provides excellent value for money, alongside the mini-golf course, it is the perfect setting for a family day out. Those who are more interested in the history and culture of the region will either head to the famous lighthouse near the pier, or to Olderfleet castle, laying south of the harbour. Ferries operating from Larne offer the chance for both foot passengers and passengers travelling by car to enter. For passengers hoping for a return day trip, there is a car park situated at the harbour, charging 60p per hour or £6 for the whole day. Pets are allowed only with passengers travelling by cars, and the animals have to remain in the vehicles for the entirety of the crossing.
Fleetwood is located in North West Lancashire, at the mouth of the River Wyre, on the southern shore of Morecambe Bay, the second largest bay in the United Kingdom. The town was founded in the early 1830s by Sir Peter Hesketh, and designed in part by the Victorian architect, Decimus Burton. The old part of Fleetwood is centred around the Mount, the last in a line of sand hills, with the streets radiating outwards, reminiscent of a spider's web. Fleetwood is renown worldwide for its tram system. In 1885 it was the first tramway to be electrified in Great Britain, and until recently, Fleetwood was the only UK town where trams ran along the main street. The town has experienced many ups and downs throughout its existence, especially devastating has been the grievous loss of most of its fishing fleet following the Icelandic Cod Wars in the 1970s and the cutbacks in fishing quotas during the 1980s and 1990s.
