Nestled on a hilltop in the county of Lancashire to the north west of England lies the ancient city of Lancaster. With its magnificent Georgian buildings, historic castle prison walls and spectacular views from the Ashton Memorial, one of the north’s great follies.
A creative city
A poetic city unlike any other; a home for the arts and music, where creativity lurks around every corner. History runs through the quaint cobbled streets, where you’ll find a coffee shop dating back to 1837, a restaurant housed in a 300 year old former wine merchant’s cellar and Lancaster’s oldest pub which dates back to the 15th century and is one of only two sites in Britain with an original gravity-fed cellar.
