Lancashire
A true county of contrasts if ever there was one. Beautiful country and spectacular views coexist with areas of urban life and a long industrial tradition. See the counties two areas of outstanding natural beauty at Arnside & Silverdale and the Forest of Bowland. Or see the extraordinary coastal landscape at Morecambe Bay. Blackpool of course, is one of the country's premier tourist attractions with a wealth of things to do. If you are a sports fan make sure to see the National Football Museum at Preston. For an absorbing history of one of the industries that made Lancashire see the Helmshore Mills Textile Museum.
