LANCASTER

​Located at the mouth of the River Lune, overlooking Morecambe Bay & the picturesque Lake District, the city of Lancaster, ancient County Town of Lancashire, has a long and rich history, one that can be traced back over 2000 years.
​

Serving as a major stopping point on the route north to Scotland, Romans & Saxons, Vikings & Normans, Georgian merchants & Victorian industrialists have all left their mark on the district.

Once an important port, today Lancaster is home to two universities, with a skyline dominated by the medieval Castle, famed as a prison and a grim place of execution, and the Edwardian Ashton Memorial, known as "England's grandest folly" or the "Taj Mahal of the North".
​

Join us on one of our guided tours and find out more about the people who shaped Lancaster’s history, the stories behind its historic buildings and how events both local and national have influenced the city over the years.
