I can see Blackpool from the Lake District: Ulverston Cumbria

I visited the town of Ulverston in South Cumbria. The town is noted for being the birthplace of Stan Laurel from the comedy duo laurel & Hardy.
Can I see Blackpool from the top of the hill overlooking the town?

The distance from the monument to Blackpool Tower is more like 26 miles.

Ulverston is in Lancashire. Always was and always will be.

Awesome views from the top of that hill. I didn't know about that monument. When you adjusted the levels on your camera to show the Blackpool Tower, you could also see The Big One to the right hand side. Thanks for showing this Stephen. 👍

What a fabulous idea to find the highest point and show us Blackpool Tower! Hope you had a lovely holiday in the Lakes.

Hi Stephen, great video, and yes i saw Blackpool tower when you zoomed in, awesome view👍👍

[Sean-ffrh]

Loved this video Steve. It was absolutely spectacular. Could see the Blackpool tower. You were very brave to drive and walk up there. Certainly was very tight and high

Love Laurel and Hardy. Love Ulverston. Many thanks for this vlog. Loved it. I received your calendar today. Thanks Stephen. Top quality pictures, and may I say top quality produced product. 😊

Hi Stephen it was fantastic how you brought the Tower into focus, this country does have some lovely green spaces, you were in a lovely part of the country.Enjoy you hols

Beautiful place and great seeing Blackpool Tower zoomed in. The still would make a brilliant framed landscape picture.

Hi Stephen, I was really hoping you were going to take a piano up to the top of the hill like Laurel & Hardy did up those steps ! Lol 😂

Hi steve my friend what a loverly video thank's for sharing. I never thourt you could see blackpool tower from cumbria..learnd somethink new today. Thanks my friend.

That’s good camera work to find the tower through the haze 👏👏

Thanks for the great vlog Steve, I think it was from you that I have learned of the Sir John Barrow (Hoad) Monument. You were telling us about the views we can see from the Cliffs in Blackpool about 2 years ago. As I love lighthouses, I am fascinated with the lighthouse on a hill with Mountains in the background. Yes that's what I can see from Bispham when I have my binoculars on a clear day. I was amazed on the Sunday of the Air Show, (11 August 24), which was a very clear day, that I was able to see the Hoad Monument from North Pier. 😊 😊 But unfortunately for me I don't have a camera good enough to take fotos of Hoad Monument from Blackpool. 😢
Even though it's not a lighthouse it is designed to resemble one - the third Eddystone Lighthouse (Smeaton's Tower) and is a grade II listed building. It was erected to Sir John Barrow by his two sons. It is sometimes open to the public.
Unfortunately after seeing your vlog Steve, I have no hope of seeing the Hoad Monument up close. If a fit person like you have struggled to climb that hill, there is no hope for me. 😢
It was a pity it was a bit hazy but I could just about see Blackpool Tower. Have you any better fotos of Blackpool Tower from the Hoad Monument from a previous visit? Do you have any fotos of the Hoad Monument from Blackpool?
I must buy your calendar, but I am dissapointed that you are not doing the Starman calendar this year. Hope you enjoy your holiday xxx

Nice vidio hope you enjoyed looks nice take care 😊

[AnnGerrish]

Brilliant Museum - well worth a visit and the young man who works there what he doesn’t know about Laurel and Hardy isn’t worth knowing!!

[Debbie-fx]

Lovely video that view is amazing wow I did see Blackpool Tower in the distance. Enjoy your holiday

[martinwebb]

Thanks Stephen, the views of Ulverston were lovely from your viewing point, made even more spectacular by your choice of accompanying music. Could see the Blackpool tower in the mist. I have never been that far North on that side of the country, Lancaster is the furthest I have been, and up as far as Newcastle/Gateshead on the other side of the country.
