Overlooking the town of Lancaster in the North of England, parts of the original castle are thought to be around 1000 years old.
Much of Lancaster County Pennsylvania is made up of rural farms that dot the landscape with towering silos.
Dominating the local skyline, Lancaster Castle is one of England's best preserved castles. The castle offers a glimpse into England’s often dark past through tours and special events enjoyed by modern day visitors. Until 2011 it was a fully functioning HM Prison and was also Europe’s longest-serving prison.
Its courtrooms have witnessed many famous and infamous trials over the centuries, including those of the Lancashire Witches who were convicted and sentenced to death in 1612. Between 1800 and 1865 only the judges at the Old Bailey in London sentenced more people to death than those who sat at Lancaster Castle.
The interior of Lancaster Priory, formally the Priory Church of St Mary, is mostly medieval but has 13 centuries of history, evident from traces of a Saxon church, such as the Saxon doorway with Anglican cross fragments, 14th Century choir stalls, superb tapestries, and King’s Own Memorial Chapel with historical regimental standards and battle honours.
The present building holds Viking ornaments, crusaders’ coffins and part of Jacobean ‘three-decker’ pulpit. The Memorial Chapel holds arguably the most complete collection of Regimental Colours in the country.
Lancaster Priory's historic clock has marked time for locals and visitors alike since 1886. The tower, built in 1759, is one of the finest church towers in the country. On the hill above the city of Lancaster, the tower is an iconic sight visible for miles around.
Lancaster Priory, formally the Priory Church of St Mary, is the Church of England parish church of the city of Lancaster. A Roman fort existed on the site from the 1st century, and some form of church may possibly have been established around the year 200. It is believed that a monastery had been established here prior to the Norman conquest of England.

Lancaster Falls, Oregon
A lovely treat of a waterfall along the Mt. Defiance trail. I did not do the trail in its entirety, I had a lot of other plans for the day so I only had time to check out the area a little bit, admire some waterfalls, and hop onto the Starvation Ridge trail to gaze at the incredible views before going back into town. But I do look forward to exploring that area more once spring arrives.

CPKC 241 charges through Lancaster, Minnesota with 20 miles left to go until the international border crossing between the US and Canada. I am a big fan of the Soo Line era station sign here. It adds a nice consistent touch to a railroad that slowly loses Soo Line evidence over time.
As a side note, the road crossing with Manitoba is only 10 miles north of Lancaster, and this town is the last chance for fuel before reaching the border on US 59.
Battle of Britain Memorial Flight's Lancaster P A 474, painted as "Mickey the Moocher", was a member of 61 Squadron R A F. Based at Skellingthorpe Lincolnshire and is believed to be one of the very few W W 2 bomber to complete over 100 operations. Its final tally was 118 operations, but the ground crews painted a bombing symbol on the nose every time the aircraft crossed the enemy coast resulting in 128 operations.
