City of Lancaster Often described as the cultural centre of Lancashire, Lancaster is dominated by its medieval castle and the River Lune that runs through the city. The narrow Georgian streets surrounding the castle contain a wealth of history. Among the attractions of the city are historic buildings such as the Castle, The Priory, and The Judges Lodgings and museums including the Maritime Museum, Cottage Museum and the City Museum. Good views of Lancaster, Morecambe Bay and the Lake District are available from the Ashton Memorial, which is set in beautiful Williamson’s Park. For more information on any of the attractions in Lancaster visit the Tourist Information Office which is located on Castle Hill, or can be contacted on (01524) 32878.
