[[File:EnglandLancashire.svg|thumb|Lancashire shown within England]]
'''Lancashire''' is a [[county]] in the North West of [[England]]. Its two [[city|cities]] are [[Lancaster, Lancashire|Lancaster]] and [[Preston]]. Before 1974, [[Liverpool, England|Liverpool]] and [[Manchester]] were part of Lancashire.
The county has developed a fierce rivalry with [[Yorkshire]], the next county east. This comes from rivalry in sport, such as in [[cricket]], and comes from the [[Wars of the Roses|War of the Roses]].
A big attraction in Lancashire is [[Blackpool]], an English [[seaside]] [[resort]], which has a [[theme park]] called Blackpool Pleasure Beach. It has the second largest [[rollercoaster]] in Europe ("The Big One") and [[Blackpool Tower]], a tower which was made to look like the [[Eiffel Tower]] in [[Paris]].
Lancashire has market towns (like [[Chorley]]) and small villages (like Bretherton, Croston and Eccleston). It is just south of an area of outstanding natural beauty called the Lake District. Lancashire also has a lot of pleasant countryside such as White Coppice and the Rivington Moors.
A famous food from Lancashire is "Lancashire Hot pot" which is made of [[meat]], [[onion]] or other [[vegetable]]s and [[potato]]es. It is often found on many [[Public house|pub]] menus in the county and in other places in Britain.
The people of Lancashire are known for their friendly nature. Humour is also an important part of Lancashire life.
