Where to stay in Layton
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Blackpool's hotel supply belongs to the seafront rather than to Layton, so a traveller who lands in this ward is usually here for a house, an appointment or a relative, not for a room with a sea view. St Mark's Church is the landmark. The Borough of Blackpool keeps its rooms nearer the water.
Families with business in the ward do better basing themselves in Blackpool proper and travelling out to Layton.
