City Walks

This walk of approximately two hours traces the history of Lancaster. Through the existing buildings and geographical features you will be able to consider the role of this beautiful city in regional, national and international historical affairs. If you live here we hope to bolster your view of your City. If visiting we can “place” the city for you and highlight features worthy of further exploration.
