4. Lancaster Castle

4.5 based on 2,268 reviews
Owned by the serving monarch, HM Queen Elizabeth II, through the Duchy of Lancaster, Lancaster Castle is a wealth of English history. Since being established by the Romans the castle has been a home to monarchs, a place of trial and execution, and a working prison right up until 2012. Still a crown court, the majority of the castle is now open to the public for the first time in over 1,000 years. Due to COVID-19 restrictions and ongoing restoration work in the Shire Hall guided tours have been suspended until January 2021. The courtyards are open and free to visit but there is no access to any of the buildings at the moment. The cafe is open between 10.00 am and 5.00 pm daily.

Highly reccommend the guided tour as although I'm a bit of a history fan theres always loads more to learn especially here as it was and still is an active crown court within a castle and has a prison too. What's not to like

I visited the railway station many years ago because of a love of the film Brief Encounter. I was stunned by how much work has been carried out since I last visited. As well as details of the stations restoration there is a cinema which shows Brief Encounter on a loop in a small replica cinema and there is also a very interesting homage to David Lean. The centre is run by very friendly committed volunteers and is a really great experience it’s free but donations are welcome. If you’re a bit of a film buff I’d throughly recommend this absolutely lovely heritage centre.

If you are visiting Lancaster for shopping or sightseeing, the city museum is worth a visit. The museum is right in the middle of the shopping area, so needs no special journeys to reach it and entry is free. The downstairs is split into two exhibition rooms and a receeption area. During my visit, one exhibition room was being used for a function of some kind and the other was exhibiting the landscape art of two Lancashire artists which was extremely good. A wide staircase equipped with a stair lift leads to the upstairs areas. The upstairs is split into two areas, the history of Lancaster from the stone age and the history of the Kings Own Royal Regiment from 1680. Both exhibitions are well laid out with exhibits and lots of detail.

A blast from the past, how lovely to see Eric Morecambe doing what he did best, making us laugh and smile, his Statue tells a great story about a great man, strolling up and down the seafront at Morecambe was indeed a blast from the past, childhood memories of holidays from the past, not changed much really.
