Lancaster Maritime Museum occupies the old Customs House along St George's Quay, a pleasant and atmospheric spot where you can take in views of the River Lune and the city's impressive Georgian warehouses as you arrive. It's one of a trio of family-friendly museums run by Lancaster City Council, alongside the City Museum and Cottage Museum, with a rolling programme of exhibitions and events giving you something new to see each visit. Full-time students get in free with ID. It suits families and anyone keen on local history, and makes an easy addition to a day out, being close to Lancaster station and within easy reach of the 68 places to stay nearby on BritStays, plus Morecambe's North beach a short drive away.
