| Description: | Lancaster is one of the largest towns in Lancashire, and has easy train access to both London and Edinburgh. An historic city, it is surrounded by countryside, but four or five miles to the west are the seaside towns of Morecambe and Heysham. Just to the north is the Lake District, famous for its beautiful landscape, rolling hills and bitter winds.The city itself can only be described as charming. It is friendly (as only Lancashire can be), and yet it has all the amenities of a large city, including shopping at Marketgate and the St Nicholas Arcade. It rains quite a lot too in Lancaster, so be prepared. Lancaster is only 15 minutes train ride from Preston and has good access to Manchester. | ||||||||||||

| Description: | Lincoln is a stunning city and that has managed to keep its charm without being snobby. This means that there are stacks of good pubs and bars to drink in, many in the new Quayside development next to Brayford pool.Trips to Nottingham and other big cities can be easily organised. There are still massive plans to make the city one of the top places in the UK but the lack of capital is a stumbling block. Whatever the case in the future though there are some great bars and atmosphere. | ||||||||||

It is a great combination of a thriving market town and a prominent high-technology centre for the East Midlands - a magnet for inward investment. Close neighbours are the cities of Derby, Leicester and Nottingham, with many other cities such as London reachable within one and a half hours by train. The town centre is pedestrianised. For entertainment, there is a wide selection of pubs, bars, clubs and restaurants to choose from as well as a cinema. | |||||||||||||
