"A quick overview"
Preston is Englands newest city and is situated in the North West of England in the Red Rose County of Lancashire. Whilst many English cities have become accustomed to the tourist industry and the recognition they receive, Preston is less well known, we do however have a proud history that dates back beyond Oliver Cromwell.
Preston is a multi cultural city with a large Asian community and with a historic sporting background. Here is a link to the Preston tourist site which is full of useful info about our proud city.
