Preston has a number of interesting sights and attractions in its town and surrounding areas. Nature lovers will be in their element at Turbary Woods Owl and Bird of Prey Sanctuary. With a collection of more than 90 birds, such as eagles, hawks and vultures, here you can watch flying displays, as well as gain hands-on experience.
Brockholes Nature Reserve is another great day out for those who enjoy exploring habitats in the great outdoors. Set in 250 acres, there are a number of trails and hides, and you can also enjoy fantastic views over the River Ribble. The reserve is also home to a 'floating village' which is the first of its kind in the UK and is designed to bring you as close to nature as possible.
Shopaholics will enjoy Preston's offerings of both high street stores and independent boutiques. Two compact shopping centres, as well as vibrant indoor and outdoor markets, have earned the city the reputation as Lancashire's shopping destination. And after a hard day's retail therapy, the city offers a large number of pubs, bars and restaurants where you can treat you and your weary feet to a sit down and a bite to eat.
One of the city's most popular attractions is the National Football Museum. If you are a fan of 'the beautiful game', here you will find more than 140,000 items relating to the sport including the FIFA collection. History buffs will enjoy visiting Preston's other museums such as the Museum of Lancashire, the Harris Museum and Lancashire Infantry Museum.
To enjoy the scenic side of Preston, a visit to Avenham and Miller Parks situated on the north bank of the River Ribble will treat you to beautiful grounds, riverside walks, ornate railway arches and plenty of wildlife to spot.
