Picnicking by the river at the Crook O'Lune

We are a warm, practical, multinational community of talents and skills in an historic port on a wild coastline.
With: two universities, great schools, advanced technology industries, global export manufacturing and easy transport links.

Plus: a world-class music and arts scene, heritage architecture, dreamy canals, castles, organic farming, glorious waterside cycletracks, hidden villages lost in middle earth countryside and utterly beautiful rivers you can swim in. Welcome!

The Community section of this site includes local groups or societies with a web presence of their own. There are a lot, particularly for cycling, sustainability, health / support, campaigning and sports / fitness.

You'll find it all here! And if you can't - let us know - your feedback is crucial to the development of the site.

There are opportunities for volunteering locally too. And if you're one of the growing number of local planters, you may find some handy tips in our month-by-month gardening columns

This site isn't just for YOU, it's by YOU too! We need your your help to develop the site and make it the best place online for the people of Lancaster and visitors to the area!

You can help by contributing material, telling us what you think of it and what you want on here, as well as spreading the word and helping us promote the site. And don't forget to tell your friends (your recommendation is very much appreciated)!
