The incredible views from Blackpool Tower's sky-high cocktail bar

These are just some of the stunning views you can find at the top of Blackpool Tower on a clear day. The world-famous metal structure boasts its 380 cocktail bar - which has some of the best sightlines in the north west.

Named because it's 380 feet in the air, the cocktail bar allows you to see for miles out to the Irish Sea, beyond the Pleasure Beach as far as St Annes, all three of Blackpool's famous three Piers and across the seaside resort past the Winter Gardens, LancsLive reports.

Visitors heading up to the Blackpool Tower Eye will find several observation decks at differing heights including two outdoors via spiral staircases and a glass Sky Walk area, with the floor completely see-through, for those brave enough to try it. The highest is 486 feet up.

A trip to Blackpool Tower can take a full day if you soak in everything it has to offer, from afternoon tea in the world-famous Tower Ballroom to family fun at the circus or a round of Dino Adventure Golf. And you can enjoy a cocktail at the 380 Bar, which will soon undergo a huge makeover with new tables, chairs and bar counter refit ready to welcome live music and late-night Sunset Sessions over the summer.

The bar was closed for the duration of the pandemic but recently reopened for the season. It can even be hired for a private function and recently welcomed a group of school-age children for a sleepover under the stars.

Scroll through photographer James Maloney's pictures and see how far the views reach. From the Comedy Carpet below to the Winter Gardens in the town centre, the panoramic views can stretch for miles.
