Exploring

If exploring is more your thing and you want to take up getting more in touch with nature this year, Lancaster has some fantastic places for you and your Bailrigg Student Living flatmates to go walking. The perfect trail to follow is without a doubt along the canal (which runs past our Lancaster student accommodation) where you can take a break or grab a bite to eat in one of a number of pubs along the way.

Hibernation
