Attractions In Lancaster

Lancaster has a rich history, dating back to Roman times: the name is derived from the Latin for the town on the river Lune. Lancaster Castle, owned by the Queen, was formerly a prison, and many famous trials were heard in its courthouse. George Fox, the founding father of the Quaker movement, was imprisoned here, and in the 18th century, the cells beneath the castle held convicts awaiting transportation to America or Australia. Visitors can get a glimpse of what life was like in those days by taking a guided tour, and there is a varied programme of events, such as murder mysteries, Halloween and children’s activity tours. From the castle, traveling by car is the easiest way to get to the Ashton memorial – a striking folly presented to the city by Lord Ashton. Nearby at Williamson Park, visitors can discover an enchanting butterfly house. Take a trip to discover the city's maritime past at the town’s renowned Maritime Museum, where exhibits and displays illustrate Lancaster's connections with the industrial development of Victorian England. An academic city, the university is only three miles from the city center.
