Information about Lancashire
Lancashire is a county that wears its history and character with quiet pride, a place of moorland landscapes, a dramatic coastline, ancient market towns and a industrial heritage that has shaped not just the county but the modern world. Stretching from the Irish Sea in the west to the high Pennines in the east, it is a county of far greater variety than its reputation sometimes suggests.
The Forest of Bowland, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty occupying much of the centre and north of the county, is Lancashire’s best kept secret. This is a landscape of high moorland, deep valleys, fast flowing rivers and ancient farmsteads that sees a fraction of the visitors drawn to the nearby Lake District and Peak District, yet offers walking and cycling country of the very highest quality. The Ribble Valley, cutting through the heart of the county, is one of the most beautiful river valleys in the north of England, with a string of attractive villages and market towns strung along its length.
The Lancashire coast stretches from the Mersey estuary in the south to Morecambe Bay in the north, taking in the wide sandy beaches and famous illuminations of Blackpool, the elegant Victorian resort of Lytham St Annes and the expansive tidal flats of Morecambe Bay, one of the most important wildlife habitats on the western coast of England.
Lancaster, the county town, is a handsome and underrated city with a castle, a maritime history and a university that gives it a lively and cosmopolitan edge. Clitheroe, Garstang and Kirkham are among the most attractive of the county’s smaller market towns, each with a strong sense of local identity and history.
Whether you are looking for a walking retreat in the Forest of Bowland, a seaside break on the Lancashire coast or a peaceful stay in the Ribble Valley, Lancashire is a county that offers far more than its modest profile might suggest.
