Lancaster

	Lancaster is home to some of the most beautiful views in the UK, in particular the view of the Vale of Lune from the churchyard at Kirkby Lonsdale and the Crook o'Lune at Caton.   The scenery remains as beautiful today as it ever was, and the River Lune meanders past unspoilt ancient villages and historic churches. There are plenty of waymarked walks, from the 37-mile Lunesdale Walk, to one-day walks taking in a quiet village, a traditional pub and the best of the Lune Valley scenery.
			The River Lune flows to the historic City of Lancaster, dominated by its medieval castle. The narrow, Georgian streets surrounding the castle contain a wealth of attractions, including the beautiful Judges' Lodgings Museum and many fine shops and restaurants, and lead down to St George's Quay, where the Maritime Museum tells of the city's history as a bustling sea-port in Georgian times importing rum, sugar and spices from the West Indies. Enjoy the legacy of Lancaster's past with an Old Calendar themed walk or visit the city for one of its many historical festivals.
