Are you looking for truly breathtaking views of Blackpool and the Fylde coastline?

Unless you want to splash the cash on a helicopter, I recommend you pay a visit to the magnificent Blackpool Tower Eye and experience it’s solid-glass SkyWalk.

Yes, you may have to overcome the dizzying 300ft drop below, but believe me it’s more than worth the entry fee.

If you can’t stand heights, but still want to see the view, let me share with you these aerial photographs of Blackpool that I took from Blackpool Tower Eye.
