    Cycling

    Williamson Park is the home of 54 acres (21 ha) of enchanting parkland with a play area, woodland walks, a butterfly house, petting zoo, and breathtaking views over the Fylde Coast, Morecambe Bay and the Lake District Fells.

    You can visit one of Lancaster's most iconic landmarks in the park – the Ashton Memorial. Built in 1909 by the Lancaster industrialist Lord Ashton, the tower has stunning views over Lancaster and the surrounding countryside.

    The Ashton Memorial is a folly in Williamson Park. It was built between 1907 & 1909 as a memorial to Jessy, the second wife of Lord Ashton. It's around 50m tall and can be seen from most places in Lancaster and the surrounding area.
    Today the memorial serves as an exhibition space and wedding venue. For runners it's the backdrop of the local parkrun and a landmark if you’re out running and need to head back in this direction.
