England(North West England) - Lancaster

Lancaster is a constituent settlement of the wider City of Lancaster, a local government district which has a population of 138,375  and encompasses several outlying settlements, including neighbouring Morecambe.



Skipton Castle

Soon after 1090 Robert de Romille, a Norman baron, built a primitive fort here but its timber ramparts did little to stop rampaging Scots during their frequent raids into northern England. It was replaced with a more formidable stone castle which stood on top of a rocky bluff with rising ground to the front and a sheer precipice falling to the Eller Beck behind.
