Are you looking for day trip inspiration for winter this year? Lancashire has plenty of great places and it's not far from the likes of Yorkshire and the Lake District.
Whether you like to see the seasons change on a lovely walk or do some Christmas shopping in a new place, a day trip could be ideal.
We asked Lancashire Telegraph readers where they recommend in November last year – here are the locations they will travel to for a winter day out.
Best winter days out as recommended by Lancashire locals
Lancashire Telegraph readers shared their recommendations, and a few areas were mentioned, including Lytham St Annes, Blackpool, Haworth and the Lake District.
One local recommended visiting Lancashire's own Lytham St Annes in winter to “potter around the main street.”
Describing Lytham, Visit Lancashire said: “With an expansive sandy beach (which you can view online), Victorian pier, historic windmill, a 'royal' golf course and stylish independent shops, the dual seaside towns of Lytham and St Annes continue to remind us why we all love the British seaside so much.”
Another one said they liked to visit Blackpool, Cleveleys and St Anne's as they’re “great out ov (sic) season it's Not so busy”.
Others mentioned taking a trip to Yorkshire, including areas such as York, Haworth, Whitby, Hebden Bridge and more.
One said: “Hebden Bridge beats going out the country”.
Another commented: “Knaresborough or Harrogate market. Haworth, or York. Weather should not bother you, if you wrap up.”
A third suggested: “Skipton. Castle, open market, lots of charity shops. Canal trips, lots of good cafes, and ice cream shops.”
