A town with a beach near Bolton has been named one of the UK’s coolest, prettiest and quirkiest seaside towns in a list by TimeOut. Introducing the list, TimeOut said: “The UK really does boast quite a lot of coastline – we’re an island, after all – and seeing every little lighthouse, cliff collection, sweeping bay and dramatic headland would be no walk on the beach. That’s not even all our coasts have to offer.
“Our shores are decorated with a vast number of marvellous coastal settlements, from the characterful fishing villages of Wales and the upmarket enclaves of Cornwall to the pulsing party towns of the Sussex coast. “Leave those clichés of soggy chips, rainy weather and nasty seagulls at home – our handpicked roundup of the country’s coolest and prettiest seaside towns includes knock-out restaurants and cutting-edge museums, as well as plenty of sandy walks for the sunniest days of the year.” @livingliverpooltour Something new for when you visit Crosby Beach 🧱 #liverpoolhistory #liverpool #crosbybeach #liverpooltour #worldwar2 #theblitz #worldwarhistory ♬ original sound - Living Liverpool Tour Crosby in Merseyside which is less than an hour drive from Bolton and could be a great spot for a day out, has been ranked in 14th place out of 20.
