==Geography==
Lancaster is the county town of [[Lancashire]], and lies in the north of that county within the Lonsdale hundred. It does not directly face the [[Irish Sea]], but is close to [[Morecambe Bay]], across which to the north west lies the [[Lake District]], which is clearly visible from the town's more elevated areas such as Williamson Park. The west of the town, including Williamson Park itself, was originally occupied by moorland. The foothills of the Pennines are close to the town, with part of the Forest of Bowland lying immediately to the east.
