Lancaster’s rich history


The city of Lancaster and its surrounds – from the Lake District to the Bay coastline and the Forest of Bowland – are steeped in history. From Bronze Age stone circles to Viking-age graves and medieval abbeys, and from Roman fort to memorials of the Transatlantic Slave Trade, the region is rich in the living remains of past cultures for you to explore. Over ten centuries, Lancaster’s Norman castle has been a fortress, court and prison, now the heart of a vibrant historic city.
