Lancashire stretches from the Irish Sea in the west to the [[Pennine Hills]] in the east and the fells of the southern Lake District in the north. It is bound to the north-west by [[Cumberland]], to the north by [[Westmorland]], to the east by [[Yorkshire]], with which it shares far its longest land border, formed by the Pennines, and the border with Cheshire to the south is demarcated by the [[River Mersey]].

It is bound to the north-west by [[Cumberland]], to the north by [[Westmorland]], to the east by [[Yorkshire]], with which it shares far its longest land border, formed by the Pennines, and the border with Cheshire to the south is demarcated by the [[River Mersey]]. A large area of the county is highland, such as the moorland of the Pennines, bisected by valleys in which historic mill towns such as [[Burnley]], [[Blackburn]], [[Bury]] and [[Rochdale]] are located. Flatter lands are found in the south-west of the county in the West Derby hundred around [[Liverpool]].
