Blackpool Tower

Highlight • Monument

An iconic Lancashire landmark, at the time of its construction in 1894 Blackpool Tower was the tallest human-built structure in the British Empire at 519 feet (158 m). It wears its primary influence on its sleeve, it's not just Parisians that will notice a passing resemblance to the Eiffel Tower.

Today, Blackpool Tower is Grade I-listed. Glamorous events and performances still take place in its ballroom, whilst the Tower Eye viewing platform gives a unique vantage of Blackpool’s seafront.

There’s nothing like the British sense of humour, and a visit to Blackpool's Comedy Carpet is a bit like a trip to the Hollywood Walk of Fame; but immortalising and celebrating the jokes, songs and comedy catchphrases of Britain’s most well loved comedians and writers."
