Preston in Lancashire

Preston is in Lancashire county and ideally located on the bank of the Ribble River. It is enclosed in beautiful countryside and meadows such as the Ribble valley and Beacon Fell Country Park. One of the attractions in Preston is The Harris Library, Museum and Art Gallery that is located in the center of the town. The building holds a large collection of paintings and watercolors by 19th century British artists, collections of textiles, ceramics and glass and has a fine collection of decorative art, social history and archaeological artifacts. If you have enough time, be sure to visit another place of interest, the Winckley Square in Preston. It is a Georgian development where many people take refuge from the upbeat pace of city life. This town has activities for everyone in the family, so you will definitely be sure to enjoy your stay.
