Lancaster

Enjoy the great outdoors, or just a great cup of coffee. Listen to the cathedral bells, or enjoy live music in some of England’s oldest pubs. Lancaster is small enough to explore on foot, but big enough to keep you entertained all day – and night...
A Historic City
The City of Lancaster has a long and diverse history, having gained its first charter in 1193. The historic castle that is situated in the heart of the city centre dates back to the 12th century, and is one of the best preserved castles in Great Britain – it's open to the public and is a fascinating place to visit. More recently, Lancaster was ranked as one of the top ten places to live in the UK, thanks to its established arts scene and student population.
A Vibrant City
The city has a thriving shopping scene, with many independent shops and boutiques nestled alongside stores from most major retailers. The bustling Charter Market can be found in the heart of the city's historic centre every Wednesday and Saturday, and the Assembly Rooms boast an eclectic mix of stalls selling vintage, period and retro clothing, comic books, art and memorabilia.
By day, a strong 'coffee culture' vibe runs throughout the city, with the Atkinson's roaster wafting its aroma onto China Street and Castle Hill, and with lots of cafés and bars dotted around the centre. The city's past comes to life through its nooks and crannies, and there are five museums where you can explore the history of Lancaster, from its stories of witches to its rich industrial, maritime and cultural heritage. Up the hill from the city centre lies Williamson Park, with its Butterfly House and the Ashton Memorial, the renowned folly that is visible from across the city and beyond.
Nightlife
Lancaster's nightlife buzzes with live music at the many pubs and wine bars within the city, situated along the banks of the canal, through the Georgian streets and even underneath the city in the castle's former wine cellars. The city's theatres and arts venues (including the Dukes on Moor Lane and the Grand Theatre on St. Leonard's Gate) provide an all-year-round calendar of cultural shows. Venues regularly play host to major comedy and theatrical tours too.
Location
Lancaster is on the edge of the Trough of Bowland.A beautiful area for walking, cycling and birdwatching and fine dining. Great access via train or car to Manchester airport or day trips to York or Lake district National Park.
The city centre, train station, bus station, Sainsbury’s and all local amenities are just a short distance away. If that wasn’t good enough the building offers amazing views over the River Lune, Lancaster Castle and the Ashton Memorial in Williamson Park.
