VisitLancashire: Clitheroe

The ancient market town of Clitheroe in the Ribble Valley is a perfect place to stay for visitors wishing to explore Lancashire's Forest of Bowland, one of England's 36 Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Clitheroe actually dates back to Saxon times so by the time the imposing 12th century Norman Castle that towers over the town had been built, Clitheroe had already been around for nearly 1,000 years! For more information on Clitheroe, see http://www.visitalncashire.com

    Lancaster is a vibrant university city with a wealth of history, beginning life as a Roman Fort in 80AD. Now its cobbled streets are lined with smart, stone houses filled with lively shops, bars and restaurants. Norman Lancaster Castle overlooks the city from its lofty position atop the hill on which the Romans built their fort. Dating back nearly 1,000 years to 1093, its sturdy walls are still in use today, as a prison and courthouse! For more information, see http://www.visitlancashire.com
