Lancaster
Discover Lancaster for a day out where history and culture come together in one of Lancashire’s most characterful cities. Overlooked by the impressive Lancaster Castle, the city’s streets are filled with historic buildings, independent shops and places to eat, all set alongside the River Lune. The castle itself offers a fascinating insight into centuries of history, while nearby museums and galleries add to the city’s cultural appeal.
Step a little further and you’ll find green spaces such as Williamson Park, home to the iconic Ashton Memorial and offering wide-reaching views across the surrounding area. The riverside provides an easy route for walking and cycling, linking the city to more open countryside and coastal surroundings. It’s a place where you can take your time, with plenty of different corners to explore as you go.
Also part of England’s Heritage Cities.
