Welcome to Lancaster!

Lancaster is a gem of the north that’s situated in an idyllic setting between the Lake District and Morecambe Bay.  As one of England’s Heritage Cities, its cultural past is rich and it’s a city with many tales to be uncovered by history lovers.

If you’re an outdoorsy type, Lancaster will be a haven for you, offering acres of parklands, forests, cycleways, hills, beaches and bays to explore. Lancaster is beautiful all year round. Pack up the picnic in the summer and explore the surrounding nature with your friends, or snuggle up in one of Lancaster town’s hidden gems with a glass of mulled wine in winter.

Lancaster also has plenty of high street and independent stores to explore if you're in search of clothes, music, books... In fact, pretty much anything you want! There are also markets to explore, with the historic Charter Market taking over the cobble-lined Dalton Square every Wednesday and Saturday.
