Heysham - the gateway to North West England


Heysham is the gateway to one of England's favourite seaside resorts, Morecambe, and one of its oldest cities, Lancaster. And the Lancashire landscape is a real treat for walkers, with its rivers, fells and sleepy villages with lively pubs.

Don't Miss...


The port town of Heysham itself is well worth exploring. Start in its new Heritage Centre and then discover its public gardens and the ancient Chapel of St Patrick. Finish with a tatse of the local speciality, potted shrimps.

Morecambe is the traditional British seaside at its best. The promenade is full of interest, including the statue of comedian Eric Morecambe. He would approve of the town's annual festival of culture, which is a genuinely popular event.

The City of Lancaster is steeped in centuries of English history. The dramatic castle is where the Pendle witches were hanged. Its soaring battlements look down on the city centre, with its Georgian squares and parks.

The Millennium Park is a must-see - it's a ten mile riverside walk, dotted with sculptures, with great views along the way. Cultural attractions include the outdoor theatre in Williamson Park and the annual jazz festival in September.
