History Unleashed: From Romans to Rovers!
Lancaster's got a past that's longer than your dog's leash! We're talking Roman settlements (imagine your pup uncovering ancient secrets!), a magnificent medieval castle (perfect for a game of "King of the Castle," doggy style!), and a connection to the British monarchy (Lancaster gave its name to the House of Lancaster, you know!). It's a history lesson you can actually enjoy – even if your dog just enjoys the smells!
