Welcome to Glasson

Glasson is a small village located in the district of Lancaster, Lancashire, England. The village is situated on the banks of the River Lune and is known for its picturesque views of the river and the surrounding countryside. Glasson has a rich history dating back to the 17th century when it was a busy port for the export of coal, limestone, and grain. Today, the village is a popular tourist destination, attracting visitors from all over the world who come to enjoy its natural beauty and explore its historic landmarks.

One of the most notable landmarks in Glasson is the Glasson Dock, which was built in 1787 to serve as a port for the export of goods from the surrounding area. The dock was a major hub for trade in the 19th century, but it declined in the 20th century due to the rise of road and rail transport. Today, the dock is a popular spot for fishing and boating, and visitors can take a stroll along the quayside to admire the historic buildings and boats.

Glasson is also home to several historic buildings, including the St. Luke's Church, which was built in 1868 and is known for its beautiful stained glass windows. The village also has several pubs and restaurants, where visitors can enjoy traditional Lancashire cuisine and locally brewed beer. Overall, Glasson is a charming village that offers a glimpse into Lancashire's rich history and natural beauty.
