Lincoln tourist information

Lincoln, the county town, with its castle and cathedral set high above the town and accessed through the steep, very steep!,cobbled streets, which run down to the High Street. Roman remains around the Cathedral and West Gate includes a wall. The close has a tithe barn, 1440, and the ruined Bishop's Palace.

Other buildings of note include the Jew's House and the Stonebow, and the 12th century High Bridge over the river is worth a look.

The town has a large shopping area, being the area centre, and a busy High Street. A good place for a day out with its historic building, modern shops and things to do. It has several churches including St Benedict's and St Peter at Gowt's.

The River Witham flows through the town, and in parts is a canal, Roman, and you can walk out into the country along the towpath.

Around the town the area is very flat, with almost a grid pattern to the road network.
