Lancaster Attractions

 
A visitor to Lancaster has difficulty in realizing that through its trade with the West Indies (cotton and tobacco) this port was once more important than Liverpool and gave its name to the royal dynasty of Lancaster. Even its former status as county town has been lost to Preston. What remains is a town with many fine buildings which is half old and half modern, the center of a fertile farming region. Situated on the banks of the Lune the town has a university and some industrial developments. There is ample opportunity for excursions in the surrounding area along the North West Coast with Morecombe Bay and the neighboring Lake District.
