== Transport ==
The [[M6 motorway]], England's oldest and longest motorway (232 miles), runs north-to-south through Lancashire, linking the county with the [[Lake District]], Carlisle and Scotland to the north, and Cheshire, the Midlands and the South of England to the south. The first length of motorway to open in the UK was the section of M6 that bypasses Preston to the east, opening in 1958. Throughout its 60-mile section through the county, the M6 also passes Lancaster, Wigan and Warrington. Other motorways in the county include the the M55 (which links Preston to Blackpool), M61 (which joins the M6 at Preston to the Manchester built-up area to the south-east, via Bolton) and M62 (which links Liverpool and Manchester to the major Yorkshire cities of Bradford, Leeds and Hull).
