Brockholes is a nature reserve near Preston, Lancashire, just off Junction 31 of the M6 motorway. Situated in the flood-plain of the river Ribble, it has the UK's first floating visitor village.

Sandcastle Waterpark

Sandcastle Waterpark is the UK’s largest Indoor Waterpark with more than 18 fantastic slides and attractions in a tropical 84 degree climate. Sandcastle Waterpark is a great day out for Groups and also offers fantastic Birthday Party packages. We’re open throughout the year (selected dates during the Winter) and located on Blackpool’s famous Promenade.

At Shreyas Cottages we have partnered with Visit Lancashire which provides daily updated information about what there what events are on and things to do in the local area at different time periods. One of our personal recommendations from our own team here would be the Barton Grange flower show held in early August every year. A lot of the plants that you will see at our complex are sourced from here as we continually pride on promoting green tourism by helping local businesses. Please see below a link which will provide further details on current events.
