Things to see and do in Lancashire
Whether you’ve got your eye on family days at the beach, walks through beautiful valleys or a roaring night out in a place like Preston, Lancashire has so much to offer. Some of the area’s top attractions include Lancaster Castle, the Harris Museum, Art Gallery and Library and all of the waterfront attractions on offer along the coast, including the fun-filled Blackpool Pleasure Beach.
From sandy beaches to the Forest of Bowland, Rivington Pike and Leighton Moss, there are so many natural spaces vying for your attention. Brockholes, Beacon Fell, Cuerden Valley Park, St Anne’s Beach, Fairy Glen - the list goes on. And don’t miss the views from Pendle Hill, where you can even try your hand at paragliding.
Education
Preston’s Archbishop Temple School in Fulwood has been ranked as one of the best schools in the UK, while Lancaster Girls’ Grammar is one of the county’s top-performing options based on GCSE results. Both schools are backed up by outstanding Ofsted ratings. Clitheroe Royal Grammar is ranked just as highly by the education board, and also performs well on exam scores.
If your kids are a bit younger, St Peter’s CofE is an outstanding primary school in Preston with a nursery attached. St Gabriel’s CofE in Blackburn and Lytham St Anne’s Our Lady Star of the Sea Catholic Primary are also classed as outstanding.
Lancashire transport links
There are excellent transport links right across Lancashire, whether you need to catch a tram, train, plane, bus or ferry. If you have a car, the M6, M55, M58 and M61 motorways all pass through the county, while the M62 runs just to the south of the border.
Jump in the car to head to nearby Manchester or Liverpool, or take a boat over to the Isle of Man. Meanwhile, rail services to London take just over two hours from places like Preston.
The Lancashire property scene
The North West has seen a healthy rise in property prices in recent years, and Lancashire has been a driving factor of that trend. Preston has been identified as a hotspot for investment, and it’s little wonder with some of the properties available in the area. Choose from 3 and 4 bedroom homes on the edge of open countryside in the northern suburb of Fulwood, as well as contemporary homes to the west of town in Kirkham and Warton, and 2, 3 and 4 beds surrounded by beautiful natural landscapes in Longridge.
Whether Preston’s the place for you, or you’d rather be close to the Forest of Bowland in a large 5 bed detached home in Garstang, or an attractive stone-fronted house on the edge of Clitheroe, don’t miss offers such as our Movemaker scheme.
