Lancashire

Discover the gems of the hidden North West.

Lancashire is a land of contrasts; rolling countryside leads to industrial centres while great waterway heritage, such as the Lune Aqueduct, stands out against unpretentious market towns. The Millennium Ribble Link is the gateway to the rest of the waterway world. Discover the great cities and explore the urban buzz of Manchester which is complimented by impressive canal architecture. Explore the innovative Bridgewater Canal and watch the ships cruise the ‘Big Ditch’.
