Your guide to Preston
All About Preston
The city of Preston in Lancashire sits on the northern banks of the River Ribble as it makes its way out into the Irish Sea. At its heart is Market Square, with its gleaming white cenotaph and the imposing 19th-century buildings of Preston Town Hall and the Harris Museum. Fishergate is the main shopping street running through the centre of the city, and if you head further north, you’ll find the University of Central Lancashire, which hosts a thriving student population. Preston is also home to peaceful green spaces, including the riverside Avenham and Miller Parks, where you can explore the Japanese Rock Garden and follow the Ribble Way Walk.
The best time to stay in a holiday rental in Preston
Preston is home to the University of Central Lancashire, one of the largest universities in the country, which means that the city is at its busiest during term time. As the main city in the county, Preston plays host to a number of events during the year, including the Egg Rolling Festival on Easter Monday, when you can join the families who go to Avenham and Miller Parks to roll Easter eggs down the hill and watch street theatre, listen to live music, and take part in an Easter bonnet competition.
Preston also plays host to its own Caribbean Carnival in June, with colourful parades, dancing, and steelpan music through the streets to celebrate Caribbean culture. Other events include Preston Pride for the LGBTQ+ community, and the City of Preston 10K race, which both take place in September. Autumn and winter are prone to rain, so pack an umbrella and sturdy shoes for exploring in the colder months.
Top things to do in Preston
Church of St Walburge
With a spire rising more than 300 feet into the air, the Church of St Walburge is a striking landmark you can see from anywhere in the city. This Roman Catholic church was built in the 19th century in a medieval style; you can witness its impressive wooden hammer-beam ceiling, colourful stained-glass windows including a 22-foot-wide rose window, and life-size sculptures of saints.
Brockholes Nature Reserve
The centre of Preston is within easy reach of the sanctuary of the Brockholes Nature Reserve, which spans more than 250 acres. The centrepiece is the magnificent floating village on the lake, which is home to the visitor centre. On the former site of a quarry, you can explore the ancient woodland and spot a host of birds, plants, and wildlife.
Preston Guild Wheel Trail
The Guild Wheel trail was designed as a link between city life and the surrounding countryside. The 21-mile trail runs all the way around Preston. Choose stretches to explore on foot or by bike, past rivers and canals, next to ancient woodland, and alongside the historic docks. Avenham Park in the south of the city marks the official starting point of the trail.
