Lancaster is an interesting smallish city with a lot of Georgian buildings and small passageways leading to not too secret locations if you’re a local. Nice coffee shops, bakeries and organic food co-operatives hide in these places often with inconspicuous entrances. There’s also a compact, interesting and information dense museum, Lancashire County Council operate a number of places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This walk starts on the opposite side of the river after crossing the footbridge with what looks like 2 knitting needles, shown on photos below. It’s a circuit crossing the river not too far apart. Old railway lines now make good walking to Glasson Dock, Morecambe and to the east and the Park and Ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
