BBC/Sarah Jeynes The Eden Project in Cornwall

The Eden Project has said it plans to open a new version in Lancashire.

The tourist attraction in Cornwall, on the South Coast of England, has large domes, called biomes, filled with thousands of plants collected from all over the world.

It opened near St Austell in 2001, in an old clay pit. The site is roughly the size of 30 football pitches.

Last year it had more than one million visitors, according to the Association of Leading Visitor Attractions.

Now there are plans for a new Eden Project to be built by the sea in Morecambe, a town in Lancashire, in the North of England.

Simon Bellamy, head of Eden Project International told the BBC the site in Morecombe will be very different to the Cornish site and will include more about the sea.

"The Eden Project in Cornwall is about the connection with plants, this is about the connection with this wonderful environment here in Morecambe, the bay."

After doing a study to see whether the project would be possible in Morecambe, Eden Project International is now looking for money and support to be able to go ahead with their plans.
