Preston Mini Guide
Getting to Preston when driving is easy, just follow the M6 motorway link from both
Manchester and
Birmingham and you can’t miss it. Regular bus connections are available from all major towns and cities and Preston is served by the main train line from

Preston is an interesting city found in the heart of some of Lancashire’s most attractive scenery. In the city, the Museum of Lancashire details the history of the city and the surrounding area with exhibits of its former industries.
If you have hired a car there, another place of interest is the National Football Museum, a fitting home in one of Britain’s oldest and most successful football towns.
