It boasts three well-reputed universities - the University of Central Lancashire, Lancaster University, and Edge Hill University - as well as two major northern cities in the form of Preston and Lancaster, as well as bustling towns like Burnley, Blackburn, Blackpool, and others which we promise don’t begin with a ‘B’.

We’ve got that too - aside from the beaches on the Fylde Coast, the reinvigorating hikes in the Forest of Bowland, and world-class rural pubs like The Inn at Whitewell, Lancashire is also home to the place recently named as the third-most relaxing village in the UK. You can’t get much better than that.
