Lancaster is a historic city which began life in 8AD as a Roman Fort, but today it’s better known for its bars and restaurants, as well as plenty of shops. Norman Lancaster Castle sits on top of the hill where the Romans chose to build their fort. It dates back to 193 and is still used today as a courthouse and prison.
