Lancaster
Lancaster University is set in parkland, surrounded by beautiful countryside with a view extending to the sea and offers both easy access to the thriving city of Lancaster 3 miles away and the advantages of a friendly, safe and compact campus. It is located in the city of Lancaster, a picturesque city of about 50,000 on the west coast of England, lying just south of Lake District National Park. This area is great for hiking, canoeing, climbing, and other outdoor activities. The city has plenty of things to do and places to see, but maintains its small- town-friendly atmosphere. Lancaster has a variety of restaurants and bistros, and plenty of cute shops, parks, and walking paths. Liverpool and Manchester are close by, and London is three hours away by train. Travel to Ireland and throughout Europe is quick and easy. Students often travel on weekends and vacations.
