Norbreck

Ward in Blackpool, England

Coordinates:53.863, -3.036
OS grid ref:SD 31 41
Dialling code: 01253 (Blackpool)

The Norbreck electoral ward sits on the northern edge of the coastal town of Blackpool in England. It is largely residential but also influenced by seaside tourism, hugging the seafront around Norbreck Sands and dominated visually by the large Norbreck Castle Hotel, with a mix of family housing, guest accommodation and some caravan parks.

Local life blends everyday community services - shops, schools and council facilities - with seasonal visitors; the area is well connected by road and the Blackpool Tramway. Its character reflects Blackpool's wider Victorian and 20th-century development as a resort, and recent regeneration efforts aim to balance tourism income with the needs of long‑term residents.
