With National Picnic Week taking place from June 15-24, we decided to look at some of the best places in the county to dine alfresco. So grab your blankets and baskets and get exploring the great outdoors
Soak up the sea air in Lytham and choose to have a picnic on the beach or green. With wonderful views out over the coast, you will have a picture perfect spot to enjoy lunch – just be careful to not get sand in your butties. You can even rent a beach hut if you’re looking to spend the whole day revelling in the sunshine. East Beach/ South Promenade, Lytham Saint Annes, FY8 5EU/FY8 1LZ
MUNCASTER CASTLE
Ruskin named the view across Muncaster’s gardens to the fells beyond as the ‘Gateway to Paradise’ – so there is no better place to enjoy a picnic. The grounds of this historic castle, which is still a lived in family home, are a great place to explore with the family. This summer there is also Picnic Cinema (August 10-11), where you can enjoy two classic films on the big screen on the castle’s front lawn. Take your own picnic or tuck in at the Castle Café.
