Advantages: Lovely people and nice places to visit Disadvantages: Might be a bit sleepy for some
Let me begin by stating that I have no sense of direction and cannot drive so you will have to look up the exact locations of points of interest on Google maps or something similar! Fortunately, the centre of Lancaster is pretty easy to find your way around so I?ve managed not to get lost too much in the 5 years I have lived here.
THE CASTLE:
I am lucky enough to work in Lancaster?s most interesting tourist attractions, Lancaster Castle. Building began on the castle in the 11th century and the Norman Keep still remains to this day. It is a fascinating building which comprises a castle, a crown court and a Category C men?s prison which makes it truly unique! Tours are available around parts of the castle such as the old courtrooms and the dungeons which give visitors a flavour of the past. The tours are excellent and really ...
Advantages: Good place to visit Disadvantages: not a large amount of shops

The judgies lodgings is a little way from the castle and makes up one of Lancaster's 4 museums.

Other places to visit include the city museum located in the city centre and the cottage museum which is a short walk from the castle.

Advantages: fantastic area to visit Disadvantages: none
At Easter we holidayed in Andalucia inland not on the coast. We had a hired car and did drive a bit and we also went for walks. Andalusia's mountainous and some of the area still had snow in Early April. Where ever we were it was not far away from a cork oak tree .A lot of Andalucia has man managed cork oak forests. These forests were quite dense not much light getting through the canopy. These woods not as dark as pine forest though
The cork forests we went into seemed to be well managed and some have Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification, which recognizes that their forests are managed to the highest international social and environmental standards.
