Decided to escape our four walls and see St.Peter's Church, not knowing the area. What a lovely surprise. Always associated Heysham for the nuclear power station. The views from this church were amazing and the village has made every effort with their community garden for children and adults to enjoy . Well done. We Will be back to enjoy the various walks.

We are a farm that lets people come and get up close to alpacas and take them for a walk around our farm. Whilst out walking you would also see other farm animals and also the wild life that frequents both the land and the canal that we will walk next to. Please book in advance using our website. Times are available on Saturdays and Sundays.
6. Lancaster Castle
Overall Ratings
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

Please keep this stunning part of England a secret. It is the most gorgeous place - small villages and rolling countryside in one instance then broody hills and windy fella the next.

We are Open May - September, 2pm - 5pm, Tuesday till Friday (also Bank Holiday Sundays and Mondays). This romantic Gothic house is the lived in family home of the famous Gillow furniture making dynasty. Boasting unique, priceless pieces of Gillow furniture, Leighton's informal guided tours appeal to all ages. Outside the Hall are woodland walks, an abundant 19th century walled garden, herbaceous borders and roses, a fragrant herb patch and an ornamental vegetable plot. Every day at 3.30 pm (weather permitting), Falconer Jim Brown, gives flying displays with his birds of prey, where visitors get the chance to put on a glove and really get up close to these fantastic creatures. For 2015 we have installed a new petite children's play area. Our products have been sourced locally as we worked with a local playground company to maximize the space we had available. So we hope the children will enjoy these facilities. Please go to our website or Facebook page for entrance fees, or just give us a call.

We were camping close by and decided to visit, I had been in the past when I was much younger, opening times are short, a few hours in the afternoons and only on certain days but worth the visit. The hawk display was fun, it wasn the normal person doing the display so the birds were not used to the environment and decided to not perform quite as they should have but the person doing the display was extreemly knowldable about her birds and wasnt phased by them not performing. The Walk in the woods was good fun for my daughter she enjoyed looking for the faces on the trees lifting the panels and finding bugs and other creatures under there. The few hours they are open is filled by the house tour, hawk display and the walk in the woods so best to arrive ready for them opening to make sure you get to see everything especially if you want to grab a bite to eat from the cafe.

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.

After a ride down the tidal road, Sunderland Point we walked to pay our respects to a young boy who was taken as a slave from the west indies back in 1736 ish, sadly the poor boy was unable to speak our language and it is thought that he died from a disease to which he had no immunity, he was buried without a coffin or bier in the clothes he passed away in. It was a sad and emotional time however we were glad to have been.
