Well worth a visit and free entrance is World Horse Welfare Penny Farm which is open on Wednesdays and weekends. Like I said it is free entrance and there is ample parking, it is on the outskirts of Blackpool so you would really need a car to get there or Stagecoach Bus X61. There are usually about sixty horse at any one time mostly rescued from people who keep them as pets or can no longer look after them. There is also a coffee shop and gift shop and every September they have an open day with displays by the Kings Troop and Household Cavalry. There is also an adoption scheme for the horses. This is a great under stated family day out which is not a publicised as it should be. The stables are indoors so you don't have to depend on the weather to enjoy it.
The volunteers and staff at Penny Farm are very helpful and knowledgeable about all the horses and will make your day a fun day out. There are activies throughout the year at Penny Farm so it is worth checking out the'Whats on Page' of their website for more details.
