Your guide to Lincoln
All About Lincoln
The history of Lincoln dates back more than two millennia, from the Iron Age through the Romans and the Vikings; historic buildings line its narrow, cobbled streets, though they’re now home to high-end shops and restaurants. The city’s skyline is dominated by the three towers of the majestic Lincoln Cathedral, which was built and rebuilt from the 11th century. The River Witham winds through the city to Brayford Pool, one of the oldest inland harbours in the country.
The hills surrounding Lincoln’s high street can be quite steep, but it’s well worth the climb to spend your days visiting the boutiques, tearooms, and spas on the heights.
The Cultural Quarter, at the heart of the city, boasts theatres, galleries, and museums, including the Collection, which contains 2 million archaeological objects. Close to the train station is the vibrant Cornhill Quarter, a destination for socialising, with eye-catching buildings and an array of independent shops and restaurants.
The best time to stay in a holiday rental in Lincoln
As the biggest city in the county, Lincoln attracts visitors throughout the year who come to explore its history, architecture, culture, shopping, and food. You’ll find the warmest temperatures in July and August, with December through February bringing the coldest weather. Rain levels remain fairly consistent throughout the year, so be sure to bring a waterproof jacket and umbrella no matter when you visit, as showers are always a possibility.
The city hosts many events during the year, and chances are something exciting will be happening while you’re visiting. Some highlights include the agricultural Lincolnshire Show in June just outside the city, showcasing the region’s local food, art, and agriculture, and the festive Lincoln Christmas Market in the Cathedral Quarter. Unique to the city are the Lincoln Mystery Plays, modern retellings of medieval biblical-themed dramas, which are staged every four years.
Top things to do in Lincoln
Lincoln Cathedral
This 11th-century cathedral is considered one of the finest Gothic buildings in Europe, and its distinctive three towers can be seen from across the city. Look out for the stone-carved Lincoln imp, fossils embedded in the nave floor, the stained-glass rose windows, and colourful modern murals.
Lincoln Castle
Lincoln Castle, constructed in the 11th century for William the Conqueror, is an imposing fortress high in the hills that later became a Victorian prison. You can walk the circumference of the medieval wall, explore the towers, and peruse the historical exhibits inside. The castle holds one of the four surviving originals of Magna Carta, one of the most important historical documents in England.
Museum of Lincolnshire Life
Housed in the city’s former military barracks, the Museum of Lincolnshire takes you on a journey through more than 250 years of local history. Its exhibits and interactive galleries showcase the county’s agricultural, industrial, and community life. Among its 250,000 artifacts are Daphne the tank, who saw service in WW1. There’s a history trail for children to explore, too.
