#### Come to this county in the north of England to discover unique wildlife areas, amusement parks by the sea and historic castles.

There is so much to see and do in Lancashire that you will be spoiled for choice wherever you head in this English county. Enjoy a relaxing walk by the sea or hike through unspoiled wildlife habitats. Experience the atmosphere in one of the historic city centers or have some fun at the amusement parks and water parks in the area.

The story of Lancashire dates back to the 12th century, when its boundaries were just starting to be established. Explore the remnants of the Industrial Revolution in the area. This marked a major turning point for the county and helped it grow as a commercial region. Today, it’s also a leisure location for travelers looking to enjoy English culture and nature.

It wouldn’t be a trip to Lancashire without heading toward the miles of beautiful coastline. Make your way to Southport to walk along the pier and build sandcastles at Ainsdale Beach. From there, travel north to the Ribble Estuary National Nature Reserve, where you can enjoy the beautiful scenery and wildlife. And don't forget a stop in Blackpool to see the iconic Blackpool Tower or spend the afternoon at the Blackpool Zoo. 

Journey inland to spend time exploring the Yorkshire Dales, a national park filled with rustic villages. Stop by a pub for a hearty meal in the scenic Forest of Bowland.

Finish your travels around Lancashire with a stop in the bustling city of Lancaster. Tour Lancaster Castle and discover its long history or take a picnic to Williamson Park for lovely views.

Try to rent a car if you are planning on visiting more than one location in Lancashire. This is the best way of seeing the area in your own time, although public buses are also frequent in the bigger cities and along populated areas of the coast. If you are coming from overseas, fly into Liverpool John Lennon Airport or Manchester International Airport.

The local residents, or Lancastrians, are known for being friendly and welcoming to guests. Be sure to take the time to ask for their recommendations on the best things to see and do in Lancashire.
