Lancaster is a vibrant student-friendly city. Just ten minutes by bus from the University it is filled with pubs, clubs, theatres, markets and shops.
Most of the city centre is pedestrianised and in addition to the usual high street retailers,
there is a shopping arcade and a large indoor market which contains a fish market selling
fresh local catches from Morecambe Bay. Stroll around the city on a Saturday morning and you will be amazed at the numerous cafes and curiosity shops just waiting to be discovered.
Threading through the city is the canal with its waterside inns where you can watch the
procession of boats glide by. There are punts for hire and a choice of craft offering cruises
and restaurant facilities.
