With some terrific road trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to experience all that Taylor’s Bank, 55 miles away, has to offer. Among the first stops you make here should be Splash World, Formby Beach and Royal Birkdale Golf Club. Fleswick Bay is another wonderful option. It’s 30 miles away and has a variety of fascinating things to do. The Beacon, The Rum Story and North Beach are only the start.
