Preston is the County town where the offices of the County Council, as well as the center of administration, are located. The county has some spectacular coastal landscapes, from the stunning sweep of Morecambe bay to the gay promenade of Blackpool - a popular seaside resort since Victorian times.

Morecambe bay has over sq miles of mud flats, home to a wide range of sea birds and wildlife, forming an important northern winter sanctuary. Lancashire contains one of the last remaining areas of ancient forests in England: The Forest of Boland. Although there are not many trees, the ancient term forest actually means an area owned by the crown and allocated for hunting. It is still owned today by the Queen as part of the 'Duchy of Lancashire'.

Wild cats, wild bore, deer and wolves once roamed the area, although today it is only stalked by cyclists and walkers. Another idyllic landscape worth exploring in this area is the Lune River valley, with lush pastures, majestic fells and heather strewn moorland.
