Eagle Tower View Point
Eagle Tower View Point can be found behind St Barnabas' Church on Heapey Lane. Park on the car park just uphill from the church and from the lane down the side it is possible to see right across the West Lancashire Plain to the Fylde, Blackpool and the Irish Sea. Particularly stunning on a clear autumn evening when the Illuminations are on!! It has been suggested that the name Eagle Tower originated in Roman times when an outpost at this spot or one similar allowed the garrison there to keep watch on the main route north from the Roman settlement in Chester to the western end of Hadrian's Wall. It's possible!!
From here you can continue along a very picturesque public footpath towards Heapey Chase, and then connect to footpaths leading to White Coppice village.
