* take a trip on the ferry
* play a round of golf
* come for a drink and a meal
* play with your kids on the beach

This is a great location to live- especially if you have a family. This is one of the last placesw I know where it is safe for children to play outside their homes. Surrounded by beach, it’s like having an extra garden! Take the kids for a game of football or spend hours looking for crabs in the rock pools. The local ameities are fantastic- village shops of every variety. Fancy a take away? Within a mile radius there is a chip shop a kebab/burger shop and two Chinese take aways. The nearest Indian takeaway is only a fiteen minute drive up the road. Fancy a meal out? The best eaterie for an evening meal must be The Village Steakhouse, serving steaks, vegetarian meals, fish and daily specials. The best value daytime meal is definitely The Working Men’s Club, offering roast dinners, a selection of curries, lamb henry or local fish and chips. Free soup is offered with every meal Tuesday-Saturday.

It is also an excellent location as it is surrounded by towns within easy travelling distance. Blackpool is a thirty minute drive away giving you access to some of the most famous landmarks and fun days out such as Blackpool Tower, the three piers and the Pleasure Beach. The famous dock town Fleetwood is also a thirty minute drive away. Visit the docks, the museum, the market or just sit on the beach with a bag of chips. Fleetwood can also be accessed via the ferry. The historical city of Lancaster is only twenty five minutes up the road. Williamson Memorial Park, Lancaster Castle and the museums all make good days out.

Why not take a walk? Try walking from Knott-End to Pilling, enjoing views of the Lake District, Morecombe Bay and surrounding rural scenes. Alternatively, make your way to Hackensall woods, central to which is Hackensall Hall. This supposedly haunted house is now privately owned. Once you reach the Hall there are crossroads. Turn right for a walk across the golf course and on to the promenade, go straight across to walk to Barnaby Sands or turn left to walk up to Preesall along the old route of The Pilling Pig (a train that used to travel between Knott-End and Pilling).

So why not take a leisurely trip to Knott-End-On-Sea? You too could while away the hours enjoying an icecream on the prom, watching the boats go by.
