Explore the County by Area

Welcome to Lancashire, a diverse county in North West England spanning over 3,075 km². It is a place where dramatic landscapes, rich heritage and exceptional food and drink come together to create an unforgettable visitor destination.

From the wildlife-rich shores of Morecambe Bay in the north to the fertile coastal plains of Ormskirk and the Ribble Estuary, and from the iconic seaside resort of Blackpool in the west to the rolling hills of the Forest of Bowland and the Pennines in the east, Lancashire offers something for everyone.

Discover unique places like Thornton-Cleveleys, home to the historic Grade II* listed Marsh Mill windmill, or explore the county’s distinctive districts, including the historic city of Lancaster, the food-focused Ribble Valley, the vibrant city of Preston, and the characterful Pennine towns of Burnley, Blackburn and Colne, each offering their own mix of culture, countryside and visitor experiences.
