Advantages: Beautiful!! Something for everyone!!

Disadvantages: Only a small city, if you like places like Liverpool or Manchester, this place is VERY different!!

I lived in Lancaster for 3 years, and before that I was visiting Lancaster all my life, from been very very young with family.
I love Lancaster, its the most beautiful place, even though its a city, you wouldn't think it to drive through, the buildings all fit in with the old buildings, the beauty hasn't been compromised for big high rise office buildings.
When I lived in Lancaster, I was a student in college, and so I was big on drinking!!! Lancaster has the most pubs/clubs/bars per square miles than anywhere else in the UK. Drinks are cheap because its a university town housing both Lancaster Uni and University of Cumbria, and every single night is party night. Now for people who don't like that sort of thing, you don't have to worry that if you want to go out for a quiet meal on a saturday night that you'll be bombarded with drunken students, nope. All the clubs and most of the bars are just outside the town centre, there are lots of pubs dotted around the shops and restaurants, but this is no where you spot the students, so if your going into the town for a meal, you really won't be knocked down by hoards of drunks!!!
Lancaster is so beautiful, the surrounding areas are fabulous, you can find something for everyone, just a couple of minutes drive for the town centre is the gorgeous little village of Glasson Dock whihc is a cute little village with a suprising amount o f tourists!! With a little port and smoke house, its a beautiful little place!!
Morecambe is only 10 minutes drive from Lancaster, where you can go bowling (both green and ten pin), and the lake district is not far either!!
Theres lots to do in Lancaster, so much to see and so much history to uncover, its a great day out or weekend trip and if your looking for somewhere new to live...Lancaster is the place!!
The people are friendly, theres a great selection of shops, the train station is right in the middle of town so its easy to find and get to. And as its such a small city, theres no problem finding your way round!!!
Whether your going for the club scene, the history, or the surroundings, you'll love Lancaster and its surroundings!! I do, and I am hoping to be moving back there as soon as possible!!!

Summary: A gorgeous city with beautiful surroundings.
