Students are considered a vibrant community that is in constant search of new ideas, fun experiences, and impressions. Still, with Christmas holidays being over, we start noticing more and more tired faces of students in the streets of our town. In our today’s post, we’ll try to convince the learners overwhelmed with their college life that Southport isn’t the place where people can succumb to gloomy thoughts and boredom. So, make sure to finish your essay about anxiety as quickly as possible and check out the places Southport if famous for. We’ll bet you’ll find at least one to your taste.
# 1 Southport Pier
You’re so lucky to study in the town renowned for its old iron pierce. Southport Pier attracts thousands of tourists from different corners of the UK and our planet. It mesmerizes with its magnificent grandeur and laconic chic. Feast your eyes, tired of homework and gadgets, on the serenity and boundlessness of the Irish Sea. Take your time to take in the fascinating marine landscapes and picturesque landscapes. Listen to the lulling roar of the sea and let it take your mind off everyday turmoil and troubles a student life is replete of. There is also a pier tram at your disposal. We insist that you hop on it and travel to the end. You’ll find a cozy pavilion welcoming you in for a cup of hot drink. Don’t resist the temptation and visit this perfect place to unwind and clear your mind.
#2 King’s Gardens
If you’re into more “royal” unwinding, you’re just bound to visit King’s Garden. It’s arguably the best place to relax, enjoy the scenery, and let go of your heavy thoughts. Even in winter, when the nature is asleep and the lake is reminiscent of a leaden mirror, you can take immense pleasure in contemplating this 17 acre garden’s gothic looks. Take a long, philosophical walk along the promenade. Pay special attention to Victorian shelters and the Venetian Bridge that lend particular, classy charm to this place. And one more thing! Don’t miss the opportunity to visit King’s Gardens Tea Rooms. Let the atmosphere of this vintage tearoom envelop you and gradually dissolve your worries in the warmth of exquisite tea fumes.
# 3 British Lawnmower Museum
Just before you start scoffing at this whole “museum stuff,” familiarize yourself with the feedback of those students who’ve already visited this fascinating place.
Rupert, the sophomore studying Humanities in King George V College, calls this place the “most tranquil and mysteriously appealing place in Southport.”Another sophomore student, Mariah, who is taking vocational training in Southport College notes that she will never get tired of roaming the corridors of British Lawnmower Museum, “feeling like part of British history.” For about £3.00 you’ll be able to literary touch the centuries-old creations of engineering heritage. But, as they say, it’s better to see something once than to hear about it a thousand times.
# 4 Ocean Plaza
We know that lots of students have not so very much spare money to shop at fancy malls and trade centres. Still, from time to time even not that rich students decide to indulge in some pleasant activities such as shopping, eating out with friends, or at least window shopping. Consider dropping by Ocean Plaza, a posh place located by the eye-catching seafront.
# 5 Ainsdale and Birkdale Sandhills Nature Reserve
Spare some time and travel to Ainsdale and Birkdale Sandhills Nature Reserve which is less than 5 miles away from Southport. Stroll around magnificent dunes and let the fresh sea air tickle your lungs. You may not be able to see all those woodland habitats, but you’ll definitely hear them croaking, singing, and slithering all around you. We highly recommend that you visit this place in spring or summer, when sandhills get covered with emerald grass and heavenly smelling wildflowers. The very atmosphere of this place really instills appeasement and tranquility in visitors craving solitude or a short respite.
Now you know that Southport isn’t just an excellent place to study but also learn history, get closer to nature, relax, mediate, and hang out. So, it’s about time you embarked on a short journey and changed that gloomy countenance… Your studies and you will benefit greatly from a change of scenery!
