In Lancaster, we can enjoy the 54 acres of park and woodland in Williamson Park with spectacular views across Morecambe Bay to the Lake District fells – and of course, the iconic Ashton Memorial.
There’s also Ryelands Park which was given to the people of Lancaster by Lord Ashton, a local industrialist, whose family home was Ryelands House inside the park.
And in Morecambe, Happy Mount Park can be proud of its reputation as a traditional park for people of all ages.
We’ve had a look back through our archives to put together this picture gallery of scenic shots of our parks through the seasons and the years. We hope you enjoy them.
