We drove into Lancaster for a circular walk there. After parking we walked through the city centre to the old prison which was based in the castle. Dogs weren't allowed in so we had to go in separately.
The walk then took us to the banks of the River Lune, the same river we'd walked beside on Tuesday further upstream.
We climbed up to the Lune aqueduct where the Lancaster Canal crosses the river, then followed the canal back through the city.
Nearer the centre we passed a couple of pubs and more boats and buildings.
After getting back to the car we still had time to spare so we drove to Heysham where the nuclear power station is, and went for a walk on the shore.
We got to a point where there are some ancient rock-hewn graves in a graveyard.
We then went on to Blackpool, planning to see the illuminations. We parked very cheaply near the centre and walked along the promenade while it was still daylight.
There was a small murmuration of starlings at the pier but it kind of finished as we got there so didn't get a good picture or video of it.
We went for a drink at the Cask & Tap while we waited for dark, it was very nice and very dog-friendly.
We then wandered to see the illuminations, but it was too cold to spend too much time doing it.
We drove back to the apartment, then went out for takeaway fish and chips from the Poulton Square Chippy, which was very good.
