Southport
Southport Pier, the second longest seaside pleasure pier in the British Isles, is the centrepiece of this Victorian coastal town in Merseyside, founded in 1792 and developed into a resort through the 19th century. Lord Street, a wide tree-lined shopping boulevard, is dense with listed buildings and cafés, while the town hosts the largest independent flower show in the UK and sits at the heart of England's "Golf Coast," with Royal Birkdale having hosted the Open Championship.
