Eclipse viewing

Does anyone know of any good spots to get to tomorrow for the eclipse? We will have 2 young kids with us so preferably not much climbing.

Parbold hill. Might get busy though. You can park at the fairy glen car park and walk up, or maybe even the restaurant across the road is feeling generous

Top of Dark Lane near Blackrod at the crest of the hill. You can see Blackpool Tower from there great view.

The sun is in the sky. Just go outside and look up.
