The town centre and the castle and how visiting historic places helps with my writing. Especially historical romance and fiction.

The merchants 1688 diner/pub a place to chill and take in the historic view of Lancaster castle, the number one place to eat when in Lancaster town.

here is a little bit of history about the place and the castle which is short walk up the hill, so get your hiking sticks ready because its about to get steep.




Make sure to follow instructions when entering a historical building turned museum, also Lancaster Castle often have leaflets to take to help you get around the castle with historic facts, which i still got and a mini table with mao and clear pictures to help you with which is what.


On this side is the trail room that they used to hang women accused of witchcraft during the witch trail during 17th century, and enter at your own courage.




I do apologize for pictures being blurry it is very small doorway but this is where the women accused of witch craft where hanged.














If you fancy a night or two in Lancaster the kings arms hotel is nostalgic and vintage for you.

if you’re in Lancaster town and lost there road signs and maps with historical knowledge.

Even when you come out of the bus station or you enter the bus station their is a historical fact block right outside the station about the mill race.

I did not find the museum and library but maybe the library is closer to the bus station.

War memorial and nostalgic buildings filled with lots of historical context which is one inspiration for my stories.#


The lancaster court house amazing for my story and linking the witch trail in there.

Whilst driving back to Preston just look at this stunning, old fashioned building near the park.

And the church which i found very neatly tidied and the garden full of flowers and neat grave stones.

again neatly looked after space garden for the locals to sit and relax on hot sunny afternoon, or morning.

If you prefer a nice,cosy, quieter countryside rather then the hustle bustle of the town then this hotel is for you.




Places to eat and charity shops.


Also humble abode is actually TO LET but the business next to it to check out.



Here is one hair salon also this for the gents mainly, or if you fancy a tattoo.

and look at the architecture of this Church, i just ;love nature and old brick layered architecture.





















The council house also again due to it being nearer lancaster castle.

The next article will be about Clitherore castle and its castle gate.
