Explore Historic Lincoln

Bursting with history and heritage and jam-packed with things to see and do, Lincoln is a great day out.

Located just over 30 minutes from our park, Lincoln is ranked among England’s best small cities… and it’s easy to see why.

It’s a town of two halves, with the Cathedral at its peak and Roman waterways below – and just about everything in between there is simply so much that’s waiting to be explored.

Tackle the famous Steep Hill and you will discover an array of independent shops, eye-catching buildings and photo-worthy moments. Head along the cobbled streets to Lincoln Cathedral, the Medieval Bishop’s Palace and Lincoln Castle. These incredible attractions boast some of the finest architecture in the country, and a whole host of secrets are hidden within their walls.

And, of course, we can’t talk about Lincoln without mentioning the shops! It’s the perfect place to exercise your credit card with big name brands and independents side by side. Plus, there’s an almost overwhelming offering of pubs, bars and cafes for ample refreshment!
