Lincoln is an historic Cathedral city in the County of Lincolnshire, home to 84,000 people. The city dates back to the Iron Age although many historic wonders grace the streets, the most impressive is the fabulous Cathedral, that dominates the skyline, this Medieval masterpiece with it’s Gothic Spires will steal your breath in an instant. The interior reverses time with the architectural prowess that is boldly on display. With arches, and stunning stained glass windows a visit will transport you back centuries. Opposite the Cathedral is Castle, that was built by William the Conqueror only two years after that famous battle. The Castle has also been used as a Prison and a Court, and one of the surviving copies of the original Magna Carta can be seen here.

The Medieval Centre is around here, and many building survive from the 14th and 15th Century. Wander through cobbled streets to Brayford Pool, along the waterfront and climb aboard a boat for a tranquil journey around the city, along the River Witham, and Fossdyke Roman Canal. Or why not catch a Curtain Call at the Theatre Royal which is housed in a lovely Victorian building, performances range from Drama, Musicals and Comedy.
