Boasting the perfect blend of cities, pretty countryside towns and seaside resorts, Lancashire is the perfect choice for a New Year cottage. With stunning walking trails through the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty to booming parties in Blackpool, you can make the New Year your own here. Learn about the Pendle Witches along the trail through the Ribble Valley to Lancaster Castle, or take a walk up to the mystical Pendle Hill. Many of Lancashire’s historic houses and halls run festive events that the whole family will love, including Gawthorpe Hall and Hoghton Tower, where there are bound to be touches of Christmas magic. Whatever you decide to do, make sure you have cosy self-catering accommodation to return to when you’re ready to come in from the cold.
Whether it’s a bumper family affair or a romantic New Year getaway for two, Lancashire has something for everyone. Stroll around peaceful canals, majestic churches and pretty gardens, or visit bustling cities like Lancaster and Preston where pubs, restaurants and bars will keep you busy all night; you’re bound to find one with a New Year’s Eve event on. But for a magical way to spend the night, head to Beacon Fell Country Park to stargaze in one of the area’s Dark Sky Discovery Sites and see whether you can spot Orion, Andromeda or Pegasus. Have a look at our lovely range of New Year cottages in Lancashire and choose the ideal one for you to welcome a new year in.
