A public vote determined this is Britain's top seaside attraction

A Wirral attraction has landed in the top spot of this year's Bucket and Spade List. The Seaside Heritage Network collects open votes to determine which seaside destinations and experiences are most favoured by the general public.

Several themes came out in the comments from voters and the sense of continuity these places and experiences provided was key. Voters were nostalgic for things they enjoyed in childhood and were grateful for the opportunity to pass that on to the next generation.

Taking the top spot is New Brighton's New Palace and Adventureland entertainment centre. Located on Marine Promenade, visitors are treated to a massive selection of classic funfair rides, arcade games and outdoor activities.

A past guest of New Palace and Adventureland said: "I have been visiting the New Palace since I was five years old and now I take my grandchildren who love it, the building is iconic and very little has changed in 65 years it is part of New Brighton’s heritage."

Another said: "From an era when New Brighton was the place to be seen. It has everything quintessentially seaside, amusements, ice cream, beach ware, cafés, candy floss."

David Wilkie, owner and manager of the New Palace and Adventureland said: "All the fun of the fair is one phrase that reflects the Wilkie family's commitment and dedication to providing New Brighton with an unforgettable attraction. To be awarded first place in the Seaside Heritage Network Bucket and Spade list is the icing on the cake - not only for the resort's tourism - past, present and future - but for all the generations who have taken the Palace to their hearts."
