What we'll see

  • A dominant fortress

    Dominating the skyline, this impressive fortress has been a seat of justice, a prison, and a royal stronghold for nearly a thousand years. From the Pendle Witches to Victorian convicts, its walls echo with dramatic stories of crime and punishment.

  • Georgian splendour

    An area lined with fine Georgian houses that reflect Lancaster’s era of prosperity in the 18th century. It later became home to celebrated architects, glaziers and Caribbean traders.

  • A beautiful medieval church

    Dating back to the 11th century, step inside to admire its stained glass, medieval carvings, and the atmosphere of a church that has served the city for almost a thousand years.

  • An Elegant Quayside

    Once a hub of global trade, the quay bustled with ships bringing sugar, cotton, rum and mahogany into the city. Today, its elegant Georgian warehouses tell stories of merchants, prosperity, and Lancaster’s connections to the wider world.

  • The lad's that's born to be king

    An elegant Georgian folly and it's connection with the Jacobite Rebellion 1745.

  • A Victorian Square

    Tales of slavery's aftermath, a forensically-solved murder, and Edwardian philanthropy. And look out for the Iguanadon!

  • Georgian Charity

    The home to 11 Lancastrians since 1720. An oasis of calm in the City. Built by a prosperous merchant and former Mayor of Lancaster to provide housing for the poor. The row of cottages on King Street reflects both the wealth of Lancaster’s 18th-century merchants and their sense of civic duty.
