Lancashire is full of stunning properties. Rufford Old Hall is considered to be one of the country's finest 16th Century buildings and Haigh Hall is conveniently located between Wigan Pier and the village of Standish. Boaters may prefer a trip to the Lancaster Maritime Museum, which resides in a former Custom House built in 1764.
