Lincoln

Come aboard this September to explore the rich history and heritage of Lincoln. Discover what this splendid city has to offer.

Take a stroll through the Strait, explore Bailgate and climb Steep Hill, which you can shop from top to bottom. Why not take home a souvenir from one of the many shops or try one of the local specialities such as Chine, Haslet and of course the famous Lincolnshire Sausage.

A visit to Lincoln would not be complete without visiting the simply stunning cathedral. This fine example of Gothic architecture was once the tallest in the world (until its spire fell) and is filled with intricate detail and funny carvings, in particular the famous Lincoln Imp which according to legend, was turned to stone by an angel for misbehaving! Enjoy the beautiful Cloisters, magnificent libraries and the memorial statue of Lord Alfred Tennison bearing the words of his poem ‘Flower in the Crannied Wall’ at this historic delight.

Lincoln Castle is currently home to one of the four surviving copies of the Magna Carta, signed in 1215 and brought back to Lincoln by the Bishop of Lincoln. Enter the Victorian Prison and see the ‘separate system’ in action.
