Cottages in Lancashire provide the perfect base for discovering the wide range of attractions this county has to offer. Perhaps best known for the seaside resort of Blackpool, the historic county of Lancashire once also comprised the great metropolitan cities of Manchester and Liverpool which in recent years have shed their dark, satanic images and undergone a renaissance. These former industrial powerhouses are reinventing themselves as centres of sport, shopping and culture, grounded in their respective histories. With its maritime past, the focus for renewal in Liverpool has been the redevelopment of Albert Dock, home to several museums including the Tate and The Beatles Story. Manchester has revitalised an area of former dockland on the Manchester Ship Canal, just a stone's throw from the city centre. Here, Salford Quays is home to The Lowry, an arts complex housing the largest collection of paintings by LS Lowry, plus the Imperial War Museum North. Blackpool, of course, has always been and remains synonymous with English seaside holidays. Although you can still enjoy a nostalgic visit, complete with donkey ride, fish and chips and a stroll along the promenade, the resort has moved on to meet the requirements of the 21st-century holidaymaker.
In complete contrast, from our cottages Lancashire and its rural attractions can also be discovered. Follow the River Ribble upstream, for example, to discover a pastoral, rolling landscape populated by cosy market towns like Clitheroe. Not far from here, the Forest of Bowland is excellent walking country. Though only vestiges of the ancient royal hunting forest remain, this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty offers a magical mix of moor and valley setting. Walking is now a popular activity for those staying at our holiday cottages in Lancashire. Visitors are beginning to discover this attractive, but less well-known, part of the western Pennines where a network of footpaths cross ancient moorland and waterfalls cascade through the wild Bowland Fells. Slaidburn, at the heart of the Forest, is a picturesque Bowland village featuring attractive grey-stone Lancashire cottages. By selecting one of our holiday cottages Lancashire and its many attractions can be discovered.Cottages close to Lancashire
