Very nice park for walks, scenery and also a little zoo - which is temporarily closed unfortunately The monument is very well kept and offers very good views of morcambe bay and the lake district. Little cafe by the monument too. Wheelchair accessible around the park and plenty of benches to sit off.

Williamson Park is one of Lancaster’s most attractive and relaxing destinations, offering beautiful landscapes, woodland walks, and stunning panoramic views over Morecambe Bay and the surrounding countryside. The park is famous for the impressive Ashton Memorial, a historic monument that adds charm and character to the area. Visitors enjoy the peaceful atmosphere, well-maintained gardens, family-friendly environment, and attractions such as the Butterfly House and mini zoo. It is an ideal place for picnics, photography, exercise, and outdoor events. Overall, Williamson Park provides a memorable experience for both tourists and local residents seeking nature, recreation, and scenic beauty in Lancaster.

Great park with great walks, little nice place to spend your day relaxing, reading a book, a great picnic with your family and friends. Great architecture, unfortunately the Butterfly House is closed for full refurbish that might take some years by the look of it. Toilets available in 2 places, on Williamson car park and next to the butterfly house.

Really cool place, it’s massive and spacious! Great for a well-being walk, simple leisure or sight seeing! Visited the memorial, which has a pretty artsy vibe to it. You can go up to the top as well and look out over Lancaster. Visited the Mini zoo, which has different sections and small but lovely collection of animals and creatures. There’s some stalls and seating areas too for coffee and light bites. Definitely a place to go repeatedly! Loved it.

Williamson Park is a hidden gem that sits at the highest point of Lancaster city. The park is made up of sweeping grassed areas, wooded dells, and waterways. Pathways meander around the park, there is a cafe and children’s play area. On a clear day you have a breathtaking view across Morecambe Bay to the mountains of the Lake District. At the central point of the Park is the Ashton Memorial. Visible from miles around, and a feature of the Lancaster skyline, the Ashton Memorial was built in the early 1900s by Lord Ashton in memory of his wife. Fun fact: the Ashton Memorial was a location used in the final series of Peaky Blinders. The Park is free to visitors but the Butterfly House - a beautiful ornate glass structure named for its collection of rare butterflies and a mini-zoo of small animals - has a fee to visit. Williamson Park is a wonderful place for a peaceful walk to restore the soul, and also regularly used during summer months for concerts which makes for an intimate and unique music experience, especially the summer evening light on the Memorial, not to be missed if you get the chance.
