Lancaster tourist information
This historic city and port still retains much of its character. It was originally the site of a Roman fortress and a crossing of the River Lune but it was only created a city by King George VI on 14th May 1937. Lancaster was the home of the House of Lancaster and John O'Gaunt's statue dominates the City from over the castle gateway.
Bonnie Prince Charlie made his headquarters in the town during the Jacobite Rebellion. A shoe from his horse can be seen cast into one of the paving stones in Market Street. Lancaster was once a thriving port but the old quays are now deserted and the extensive warehouses are being converted to dwellings. The old quayside now provides a pleasant tree lined walk.
