Location information for Preston

Preston is an ideal holiday destination for people looking to relax and unwind amidst the charming countryside. The city is located in the English county of Lancashire along the River Ribble. The city exudes an interesting countryside charm, featuring a colourful culture and heritage that tourists can experience through its many sights and attractions. Travellers usually arrange for a cheap car hire in Preston so they can easily get around the city although walking can also turn out to be a worthwhile travel option.

One of the most interesting things about Preston is that it features a number of landmarks that offer travellers a glimpse of its rich culture and history. The spire of St. Walburges, a 95-metre high structure dominates the city's skyline. It was built in 1854 according to the design of Joseph Hanson, a celebrated architect from the Victorian era. Travellers can also take their car rental through other known landmarks around the city including the old public parks such of Avenham and Miller on the northern bank of the river.

As the cultural centre of Lancashire, the city of Preston features a number of museums and art galleries that showcase the impressive heritage of the county. The Harris Museum & Gallery, which is housed in a Greek revival building, features some of the finest collections of sculpture, art and ceramics in the city.

Outside the museum, travellers will find the Flag Market where they can immerse into the local culture through the many outdoor entertainment options available in the area. The market regularly hosts annual events in Preston including the Historical Fayre, the Criers Competition and summer street theatre performances. For a dose of retail therapy, tourists can head for the redeveloped docklands and marina where they can find a number of quaint shops and food outlets.

Arranging for a cheap car hire in Preston is well worth the trouble considering that the outskirts of the city are just as interesting as the attractions inside it. A drive to the Ribble Valley, for instance, will treat tourists to a relaxing day trip to the upland moors and beautiful Forest of Bowland as well as to the Beacon Fell Country Park.
