Information about Parking in Lancashire

Lancashire is located in North West England with the city of Preston acting as the administrative hub. It was first established as a county in the 12th century, so there is plenty of history ranging from the Middle Ages through to the Industrial Revolution. 

Lancashire played an important role in the Industrial Revolution with the Lancashire Coalfield becoming some of the most productive throughout that period. Cotton also became an important export for the area.

In more recent history, Lancashire has become home to several large industrial companies and manufacturers including Fisherman’s Friend, several defence industry contractors, Hollands Pies and Enterprise plc. 

As Lancashire is a reasonably large county there are plenty of attractions to find during your travels. Blackburn Cathedral, Blackpool Pleasure Beach, Lancaster Castle, Blackpool Tower, Rivington Pike… the list is long.

Lancashire is also full of great walking routes from gentle, rambling tracks to longer and more challenging trails. From the lush countryside to rivers, woodlands or the coast, Lancashire has a beautiful and diverse landscape that is worth exploring.

Latest Lancashire parking reviews
  • Parking on Castle Park, LA1

    Good instructions and easy to find. In the middle of a private residential area so made it feel very safe to leave the car for a couple of days. Would definitely use the space again.

    Samantha
  • Parking on Church Bungalow, LA1

    Excellent location and helpful staff membee

    David
  • Parking on Castle Park, LA1

    A very convenient space. Fairly easy to get to, as well as feeling safe and secure because it's tucked away from main roads. A minute's walk from the front gates of Lancaster Castle, and very convenient for many other attractions and the town centre. Quite steep hills around this area (worth mentioning if you don't already know Lancaster), so this may not be the perfect space for those with limited mobility, but for us it was ideal for a walk and a museum visit. Thank you.

    Cheryl
  • Parking on Castle Park, LA1

    Because of personal circumstances I didn't use the space. My trip had to be cut short and I returned home, but I have this address for next time.

    Jean
  • Parking on Wheatfield Court, LA1

    Great private space tucked away in what felt like a safe place to leave our car. Only a few minutes walk to main shopping.

    Virginia
  • Parking on Sainsbury's, LA1

    I love the convenience of booking in advance and not driving round looking for carparks and this was in an excellent location! Only a few hundred yards from the shops.
