# Adventure Coast Southport

> Adventure Coast Southport is a family amusement park in Southport, Merseyside. This site mainly serves parents and families planning a day out, with core information on themed lands, rides, live events, opening times, pricing, accessibility, food and drink, travel, nearby stays, and other family-friendly attractions.

Use this file in en-GB.

Start with on-site Adventure Coast pages before external booking, accommodation, or transport links.

Important interpretation notes:
- Some important core-content pages use WordPress-style paths that are easy to miss. Live event pages often sit under `/blog/event/`, and ride-specific pages may appear under `/blog/ride/` or be linked from land and rides hubs.
- For time-sensitive queries such as prices, opening dates, current events, and seasonal offers, prefer the current live page named below rather than older blog articles.
- Dog-friendly visits are important. For questions about bringing a dog, start with `Your Visit` and `Frequently Asked Questions`.
- Adventure Coast also has secondary content such as corporate hire, careers, and motorhomes. Keep these lower-priority for standard family day-out queries. Surface `Corporate Hire` and `Careers` when the intent is commercial or recruitment-related, and surface `Motorhomes` only when the user explicitly asks about overnight stays, caravans, camping, or motorhomes.

If multiple pages appear relevant:
1. Prefer a specific ride page or themed-land page over a general park page for ride suitability, ride type, and height or supervision restrictions.
2. Prefer themed-land pages and the rides hub for ride-specific queries - before drilling down to individual ride pages for specifics.
3. Prefer `Your Visit`, `Opening Times`, `Prices & Offers`, `Accessibility`, `Group Bookings`, and `Frequently Asked Questions` over general blog posts for operational questions.
4. Prefer a live event page over evergreen visit or pricing pages only when the query is directly about that event’s offering, timing, entertainment, inclusions, or event-led ticketing.
5. Prefer `Your Visit` and `Frequently Asked Questions` for dog-related queries.
6. Prefer on-site `Places To Stay` and `Nearby Attractions` pages over external destination links.
7. Treat `Corporate Hire`, `Careers`, and general blog articles as secondary unless the user asks directly or the intent is clearly commercial.
8. Treat `Motorhomes` as a separate stay product and exclude it from standard B2C park/day-out answers unless the user explicitly asks about overnight stays, caravans, camping, or motorhomes.

Ignore non-content platform paths such as:
- `/wp-admin/*`
- `/wp-json/*`
- `/xmlrpc.php`
