5. Lancaster Canal
One of the country’s few coastal canals, it offers 41 miles of lock free cruising - the longest stretch in the country. As the canal is naturally level, it also lends itself to gentle walking and cycling as well as canoeing and other outdoor activities. Photo: Bob Graham
6. Carnforth Station Heritage Centre
The award winning heritage centre is located within Carnforth Railway Station, famously featured in the classic 1945 film ‘Brief Encounter’ directed by David Lean and starring Celia Johnson and Trevor Howard. As you stand on Platform 1 with its vintage suitcases and railway posters, you can almost imagine the era when steam trains frequently passed through. Photo: Tony West
