Rossall Point Watch Tower — Attraction in Borough of Wyre

This place is absolutely amazing to go up and see on the very top of the structure. There are a few stairs to climb, but chairs at the top of them to rest at each station. On the 1st floor there is a inside viewing platform which is phenomenal place for all ornithologists, with the display of birds species found in the local area a real treat. On the 2nd floor the actual coast guard manning it in daylight hours 365 days a year megga interesting. Then on the top floor a phenomenal fantastic Panaramic view of the whole bay and Fleetwood, with maps surrounding the walls of the structure outlining what you can see, there are free to use pairs of binoculars to use if you haven't brought your own or camera enthusiasts. You can see Barrow Docks Heysham Town and Docks, Helvellyn and even Ingleborough and the mountains of the Lake District, Lune Deeps Morcambe Knott End Heysham, and Heysham Power Station, and all the passing ships, I was megga lucky to see Heysham Ferry heading to port. I have lived in Blackpool all my life and never been up it, I can really say a MUST for anybody local to the fylde coast or visitors, after Blackpool Tower. And what's more it's free to go up, a must for families to go to for something different, in the cost of living crisis, as well as interesting something different to do, to keep the kids entertained in the school holidays, as well as having a nice walk and fresh air and exercise rather than stuck on tablets, phones and PC s and game consoles. Where else can you do nice friendly family fun these days all for free provided by helpful knowledgable and friendly volunteers. My girlfriend was talking to a really nice bloke who said it is open mainly at weekends and when they do the Fleetwood Beach Clean, and organised...

Woke up very early and planned to go to the gym for an hour before work. It was a beautiful morning, so instead, I went to work early and parked the car up. A short walk to Larkholme promenade revealed what a truly beautiful morning it was. With views to the South Lakes, Barrow, and Blackpool, across Fleetwood to the Bowland forests, it was a fantastic place to start a leisurely stroll north along a very clean and well maintained sea wall up to the Rossall Point Watch Tower, which was bathed in crisp, clear, early morning sunshine. There's the sea wall path, a bridleway, and various tracks and paths to choose from. I had a super clear view of the wind turbines out in Morecambe Bay. It was so quiet, the air was fresh and still, and it was so much better than going to the gym. There's plentiful free parking and many places to pick from when deciding how far to walk. Early morning golfers were out, as were lots of species of local wildlife. My pictures don't do it justice, but for a peaceful seaside stroll with great views, fresh air, and plenty to enjoy, I can't recommend this area highly enough. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Weather permitting, I'm going to make it part of my regular commute by getting to work early and enjoying what nature...

I love Blackpool and I’ve been going since being a kid. I now take my own children and realised that I’d not explored any of the surrounding area. I spent the day recently looking at as many other places throughout Blackpool and fleetwood as we could. This came up on the list and we will be back.

It’s a beautiful location, free to access, and has experts on hand to show you the sights and wildlife. It’s inspiring to know that it’s run by volunteers. We were lucky enough to see how the service operates and the guards on shift showed us how they communicate with the other sea services and told us about some of the history of the area. On the top floor, there are binoculars and there was a wildlife expert telling my girls about the local birds. Fantastic experience and well worth nipping out from...
