About

Lancaster Central is the compact historic core of the city, anchored by the medieval Lancaster Castle and the Priory Church. The area's streets, such as Market Street and Church Street, are lined with Georgian and Victorian buildings housing independent shops, traditional pubs, and cafes. The old stone architecture and cobbled courtyards define the visual character here.

The weekly street market operates beside the grand, columned facade of the 1909 City Museum. A network of narrow lanes, known locally as 'ginnels', connects the main thoroughfares, creating shortcuts that reveal sudden views of the castle's imposing walls.
