I live near Blackpool but am unfamiliar with buses.

North Station will be best. best tip - take a taxi. £4 max I would think.

If walking: exit the station onto Talbot Rd. Across the road you will see the bus station. Not all buses use it, but i think there is an enquiry point there.

If walking: walk along the street *( Cookson) which runs at top of bus station. 2 sets of light along is Church St, which runs down to the sea. Walk straight across ( regent St) to the next main junction running Left/ruight. This is Hormnby rd. Turn left and walk to lights - stright across ( Park Rd) You are still in Hornby Rd. Walk downhill to next litghts at Whitegate drive. Go straight across and take the right fork (Mere rd) This takes you the the park entrance. When coming back, there is a bus stop outside the entrance. It is a 25-30 mins walk. Phone number for Transport may be 01253 473001
