See history come alive in the heart of Lancaster.

England's dark history, with tales of persecution, incarceration, punishment and execution, has been lived out over the centuries within the confines of Lancaster Castle.

And now, after almost 1,000 years as an imposing and impenetrable place of penance, the castle's magnificent John o'Gaunt gates have been swung open to unlock a veritable vault of intrigue, interest and interaction for visitors of all ages.

Lanaster Martime Museum

10 - 15 minute drive

 Head down to St George’s Quay to find out more about Lancaster's connections to the sea.

Using sound, smells, reconstructions and audiovisuals, Lancaster Maritime Museum reveals the city's former status as an international trading port and explores the history of the Lancaster Canal, the unusual fishing industries of the area, the local tradition of travel across the sands of Morecambe Bay, and more.

The museum stands at the heart of the old Port of Lancaster. It's housed within the original Custom House and an adjacent warehouse building, both of which date back to the second half of the 18th century.

Visitors can look out over the River Lune before picking up a snack from the grab & go cafe. Don't miss the changing programme of special exhibitions!
