Had a wonderful and interesting tour by Sandra. You do need a tour to see most of the castle, but it was well worth it. Courtyard and businesses inside are free otherwise. Fascinating to be inside both the historic (and only closed recently) prison and the still functioning crown courts. Building is stunning and lovely views from just outside too

Amazing place to visit we had a coffee and sat in the grounds. You can pay £9 to go on a tour as well. It also has holding cells that are currently used for HM Prison. There are only a few Parking spaces outside that you have to buy a ticket for . Recommended

We took the guided tour of the castle, reasonable for £9 per person. Since it used to be a working prison and parts of it are still a working court, you have to take the guided tour to see the full thing. We had a lovely guide, very engaging and informative. The tour lasts about an hour. The castle has a lot of history, quite a lot of it is dark, the tour touches upon these themes too. There is a Prison Museum too. The courtroom is part of the tour, unless it is in session on the day. Photography isn't allowed in those parts of the tour. I would recommend visiting castle, doing the tour and then visiting the Priory at the back of the castle, there are some remains of roman baths too.

We did the tour as a family and it was really interesting. Great value for money. They give you lots of insight into the history and had a lot of knowledge. Simon made it fun and interesting and kept the whole group engaged. It’s my second time of going and I would go again. Dogs are not allowed but I couldn’t resist getting a snap of our dog there.

We used the Lancaster Park and Ride to get to the castle, the buses were comfortable and the drivers really nice and helpful. The castle itself is large but you cannot visit lots of areas and you cannot photograph in the Civil and Criminal Court areas. Your entry includes a Guided tour that is highly recommended as it is interesting, informative and well delivered. The tour takes you through the castles history, much of it being as a court, prison and place of execution and explains the relationship to various monarchs who have held the Duchy of Lancaster. There is a nice comfortable cafe, with a relaxed atmosphere, toilets are clean and fresh.

Worth a visit the tour is only £9 PP. Lots of history and interesting things to see, from the court rooms, prison cells and torture chamber devices. Must be able bodied, as the castle is old, dark in places and lots of steps.

You need to book on a tour to go inside. We arrived at 10am and booked onto the 10.45 tour so had a look round the Pendle Witches exhibition room and part of the police museum first. The tour inside was really interesting and the guide was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and entertaining. It lasted about 80min and was well worth the £9 fee.

A wonderful place to spend a day or a few hours! The park is perfect for walking and relaxing, with beautiful paths, ponds, and even a mini zoo. Families will love the playgrounds, and everyone can enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. The views from the park are absolutely spectacular, especially around the Ashton Memorial. If you’re visiting Lancaster without a car, it’s easy to reach by taking bus number 18 from the city centre. Highly recommended for a relaxing day out. 🌿✨

It's a lovely space to enjoy. The butterfly house contains all the gorgeous creatures and tropical plants for everyone to admire. There are lovely quiet space to sit and rest to enjoy the views. I moved here alone and Williamson Park is my favourite local comfort venture!

A well kept secret in Lancashire!! A beautiful and well kept 54 acres park, so wonderful in the outskirts of Lancaster and so close to the university. The Ashton memorial is magnificent! The little zoo and butterfly house are a delight. A small fee to access the former and a parking fee for a whole day parking. Pack a picnic bag, take your friends, your pet, your loved ones, it will be a well spent day in this gorgeous place. A

We had a great time at the park. We climbed the steps to the tower, enjoyed a nice coffee at the kiosk and went on a forest walk. An absolute delight

Such a beautiful park. Visited this park in January and had great views from the top of the hill, breathtaking views out towards Morecambe Bay. Lovely cafe with plenty of seating. Perfect for a Sunday morning walk.

It's such a nice quiet place. The best for piece and calm stroll , family time with kids or walking dogs. There's a playground and dog friendly cafe

Beautiful spacious park. Great for walking, picnics, general relaxing. Views from the monument are awesome, and the butterfly house is an interesting attraction. 🦋

A nice little theatre, in desperate need of a new foyer, as it can get quite tight when punters start mingling. The toilets and bars are pretty satisfactory, but the seats can be a bit uncomfortable for the larger, and longer legged audience member.

Great fun at Northern Live Do I Love You last night. Danced at the side of the seating all night! Highly recommended stalls seating 17 & 18 if you want to dance!!

Great small venue. Friendly and helpful staff. View from our upper level seats was fine. Drinks and snacks not as overpriced as in many venues. Plenty of parking in that area of town. Rather small circulation spaces outside the auditorium make the interval and arrival less relaxed than in other venues and the toilet facilities could do with an update. That said, it's a venue we'd happily return to

Went to see The Overtones on May 12th. Staff were friendly helpful and the theatre is amazing and comfortable. The show was awesome..

It's a lovely little theatre with a lot of history. I've seen many shows here over the years. It's just the right size to be part of an enthusiastic audience but not be too crowded. Seating is a little cramped, or cosy, depending on your point of view.

Lovely old theatre well maintained with passionate and knowledgeable staff. Easy to attend venue with close parking.

A wonderful theatre, hinting back to times past. Staff amazing, well worth a visit to see a play or go on the tour.

So this review is based from a family with two grand children with special needs A lovely laid out park, various interesting areas Limited toilet facilities albeit clean The cafe is very noisy due to the play area being placed inside and the prices are a little steep too but there is quite a broad food menu to choose from Great coffee though👌🙂 The paths are poorly maintained in places for pushing wheelchairs on. The play area is in a nice sheltered area, it is well set out and the pine needles add a soft covering to the ground. (Some parts of the ground were muddy though) The zip wire is placed way too low and restricts its use for the heavier child Overall OK.

We visited Happy Mount Park form the first time yesterday. We spent the afternoon in the park with our two children's Nd had a jolly good time. Plenty to do, could easily have spent a full day at the park. The splash park was a great hit with our 4 and 7 year old. The free play area was a bit basic and the other issue was that a lot of the things were cash only. Some sort of pay once for everything would have been handy too.

A really nice park with plenty of activities for everyone. We visited Sunday 3rd August 2025 and found that the Kirby Lonsdale Brass Band were playing. It was a really fabulous afternoon with plenty of people sitting listening.

Not much open due to it being out of season but Adventure Golf was and we enjoyed a round. The pots of tea we had were the best we had during our visit.

It’s a nice park for families activities with the lovely squirrels everywhere

It's a beautiful park, with something for everyone. Plenty of different things to keep the young and old occupied and then a lovely drink in the cafe afterwards

Pay for near enough everything. £2.50 parking. Playground £1.50. Trampolines £2 for 6 minutes. Train around the playground, not sure how much as we’d stopped paying. Toilet was 40p. We won’t be visiting again. Total rip off. No wonder Morecambe is still declining.

I didn’t actually realise any Arndale Centres still existed, other than the big one in Manchester. I know they used to be a regional chain, but had assumed those days lay far in their past. Anyway, here indeed is an Arndale Centre – it’s very small and, visually, very much stuck in the 1960s. A single low mall with a 90 degree turn at the midpoint – the shops inside are uninspiring – you have your Poundland etc. Useful if you’re here for your shopping, of less interest to the tourist. Nothing really here to keep you occupied for more than, at most, 10 minutes. There seems to be outrage in some other reviews at the lack of toilets – did malls this small ever offer public toilets? Where would they go – it’s not a very big place… Burger King at one end, but it turns its back upon the mall and the connecting door was firmly locked – given the toilet was at that end of the shop, this is probably to keep out those other reviewers who spend their time hunting for one.. 😃

Don't bother people. Morecambe is going down rapidly. It's about time the council stepped in and threw money into making Morecambe a great seaside town to visit just like it was year's ago!!!

Used to be a very nice place when I was little, now there hardly any shops in here because of the high prices to have a shop in thier. Only worth going in to get a Greg's

Could be a great shopping centre with the right investment, but the owners clearly don’t want to invest any money into it and would rather let it rot

Oh dear.... Poor old Morecambe town centre, sad as it seems, if it wasn't for this 70's lump in the middle it would have completely died! In fairness to the centre it's reasonably full of shops, but Iceland, Poundland, and other such high end stores. The centre was well maintained and clean, maybe a good place to take shelter if the weather turns?

Unfortunately it’s a very depressing shop mall which attracts nothing I was hoping for something from the pictures I saw but no very disappointing

When you have a notice on the door that asks you to report bodily fluids or drugs says it all really

Wow. This place is so unbelievably bad. I was peckish and just wanted a bacon butty and a latte. It took over 10 minutes to make, the bacon looked rank and was really dry, and the coffee was the worst I've tasted. Avoid like the plague

I don’t think they want to serve customers. I’ve been in, wanted to pay with cash, there was no one queueing, just two member of staff behind the counter. I’ve approached them and asked that I’d like two chicken royale. They immediately pointed that I would have to order at the self ordering screens (which accept just card payments). I’ve pointed to them I am paying cash but then they said I still need to order there and get the receipt and go back to the counter with that receipt in order to pay cash. Ermmm whaaaat?? Couldn’t you just take my order without a fuss??? So here I am gone in second 2 without ordering a thing. It’s mad now days that some folk are so robotised and common sense doesn’t work no more….

Absolutely disgusted out of the whole order I only ordered 1 thing and surprise surprise wasn’t bagged up with the rest of the order, phone the restaurant to a smart arse employee refused for the food to picked back up because basically I didn’t have want it and just said they’d refund the money for the missing item, not good enough to me really plus the same excuse is used all the time there really busy short staffed etc and most places these days but they always manage to get an order right, waste of money foods gone in the bin and I’ll never be ordering from there again.

Absolutely enjoyed it, first time trying burger king in England and I was pleased, the staff were exceptionally helpful and kind, will definitely visit next time!

The toilet door sticking the toilet , sink , floor not very clean at all So what the kitchen like possibly not good just look round & make your own mind up 🙁

The staff was ignorant and rude the food well I would give to my dog never mind a person the chicken was dry and over cooked and the flavor well u couldn't taste it I would highly recommend not to use the burger king in Morecambe it's bloody disgusting

Adequate. Nice fries (much better than McDs). Quick service. Toilet was dirty and stunk. Drink machine a bit grubby. Table was clean though.

After a lovely walk from sandylands to bare village end of beautiful morecambe bay , I decided to try the Bow window . Lovely welcome really clean tablecloths, decorated really nice. Varied menu Roast dinners I tried the flapjack & cappuccino very tasty indeed. The sea view was great , definitely recommended try this if in bare / morecambe bay area. I will be back !

My husband and I have been coming here for many years. We have enjoyed many breakfasts/lunches/cakes and much more. Every single time we go the food is "spot on" - always enjoy our food. Beth and her team look after you very well and staff are always friendly and attentive. A warm welcome awaits and staff are always amenable if you need to change your order slightly. I have recommended the Bow Window to lots of people and it is definitely my favourite place to go for breakfast/lunch. Give it a try - you won't be disappointed !!

We both had a lovely morning here enjoying a wonderful (with not so many calorie leaden) breakfast. The staff were so friendly they couldn't do enough for us both!

Been today with my husband mother &sister in law my husband & I have been before. My mother in law said how lovely it was and the food very good. It is a great place to eat with very large selection I was spoilt for choice. All tasted very good. Chips are really nice.

Found this place by accident. Parking ti visit is on.the main road not too bad when we visited but would imagine in the summer time might be difficult. We were lucky to get a table as it seemed most had been reserved which is always a good sign that tjetevatevaclot of regular visits. On entry youvate required to wear a favemask and sanitise your heads which is enforced by the staff. All the table coverings ate replaced after every sitting and the tables and chairs are wiped down. There is a unisex toilet whi is large and very clean. A decent selection of food is available. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I had the ham peas fried egg and chips which was very tasty. The wife had a jacket potato with prawns and salad Her potato was well cooked and tasty. We had apple and blackberry crumble with custard delicious, would have liked more pastry. Will definitely call again.

Very pleasant surroundings and extremely friendly staff. Lovely food as well. What's not to like?

Went in for the second time last week. Not disappointed with either the staff or the food. Fresh chips, plenty of delicious ham and enough peas to sink a battleship. The staff here want to feed you, you don't leave hungry. Well priced food, staff very friendly. will use again

Ordered a special treat for grandchildren. Never again was a waste of almost £30. Food cold, wrong items and added ingredients we had asked to be left off. Customer service didn't want to know, just said it was delivered in a reasonable time, that wasn't the issue the food was clearly sat waiting and cold when it left restaurant.

Visited early Saturday night. Food took a long time to come in a not very busy restaurant. They seem to have a strange process where the food gets put in the bags and lined up at the front, but the 2 members of staff who are doing the drinks are just stood around and constantly having behind chased by managers who look through the order and tell them what to get. Resulting in the order taking a long time because the food is sat there, but then the employee who’s just been stood there chatting to his co worker about what shifts they’re on, then gets told by a manager to get 2 orange juiced, then they realise the fridge isn’t stocked and have to go and get a stack from the back fridge. Anyway, my order, mcchicken sandwich barely had any lettuce in, wrap was so burnt on the inside it was black, and after ordering it with no bacon it came with 1 piece of bacon in.

Since they reopened they've been crap! Due to being able to see over the counter properly now it's constant employees stood doing nothing and having a piss about. Took 40 mins to get food for two people when it was empty inside. Ridiculous

Morecambe. Dreadful experience! We ordered our food over the speaker and the server yawned. We asked for salt and napkins and received neither. We were told to park up and wait, the car park was full although the restaurant was empty and there was no queue at the drive-thru, probably because everyone was also waiting for their orders. We waited over 15 minutes and when the food arrived it was cold. We didn't even receive straws for our drinks.

Service was fine but got all the way home after requesting no cheese on my burger to find cheese on my burger. What’s the point in having that option if they just do it anyway? Chips were also over cooked. Wishing I’d bothered to check it before leaving

Staff are useless, I did a drive through order they asked me to wait in the car park, wrote my licence plate down wrong for the order, I asked the staff member that maybe my order just to get told "na don't think so it's for BJ not PJ" and walked around the car park twice. Waited and had to go in just to have the order remade because it was stone cold

Waited ages for food whilst watching staff looking at their phone laughing. Saw my food sitting on tray for 5 minutes until drinks made, so chips were cold and burgers luke warm. Service was awful.

Well I am sorry but there is calamari and BURNT calamari. I ordered calamari on 05/06 at 19.00 hrs, complained it was burned and told that is how the restaurant does it. Avoid it like the plague, dreadful. They knew it was not good but the managed Mac charged me anyway. They did offer to replace it but it would be the same. Hey ho, life nowadays, accept second best.

Affordable, cheerful, and family-friendly. Loved the variety on the menu and the service was quick. Kids had a great time, and it’s somewhere we’ll happily come back to again.

Great place for a relaxed family meal. The food came out hot, well-cooked, and the staff were really welcoming. Kids enjoyed the play area, making it a stress-free evening.

We were pleasantly surprised after reading some previous reviews, so glad that we gave it a chance here. We were welcomed as soon as we arrived and shown to our table . The staff were all really friendly and welcoming and our food was lovely. They also have a great play area for the kids and although we arrived half an hour before the play area closed they were happy to let our 7 year old join in.

Reasonably priced and very kid friendly. Plenty of seats and space for the kids to run around in the play area. Food was ok, as to be expected for the price and location. It's close to a hotel and similar other restaurants so worth a visit. Staff were helpful.

Nice casual dining spot. The food arrived promptly, tasted fresh, and the team were polite and helpful. Family-friendly atmosphere makes it ideal for an easy night out with kids.

Great experience from start to finish. The menu is varied, food was tasty, and portion sizes were filling. Staff seemed genuinely happy to help, making the visit very enjoyable.
