Lytham Jetty - Added to Coastal Scenery in Fylde, North West

I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at Drone Scene:

The jetty is located within complex airspace. Pilots should coordinate with Warton (EGNO) Air Traffic Control (ATC). Some of the jetty is within Warton Airfields extended runway protection zones. I would advise only to fly here at weekends and always with permission from Warton ATC.

From above, the jetty's wooden planks create a strong geometric path stretching out toward the water, especially effective for top-down "bird's-eye" shots that reveal its full length against the sand or incoming tide.
The visual appeal changes constantly with the tide. At high tide, the water "creeps" up the structure until only the beacon at the end is visible, while low tide exposes the surrounding mudflats and salt marshes.
Climbing to a higher altitude reveals the broader landscape, including the Lytham Windmill to the east and views across the water toward Southport and the North Wales coastline.
The jetty is a premier spot for sunset flights, as the low light casts long shadows and turns the Ribble Estuary into a reflective surface of golds and purples.

The originator declared that this location was inside a flight restriction zone at the time of being flown. Permission to fly was obtained from Warton ATC. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location. Landowner permission may be required before taking off.
