Lincoln Cathedral floats high above the city and can be seen for miles around in every direction.  It's a sight that has welcomed visitors for nearly a thousand years.

Lincoln's heritage dates back to Roman times and there are many fascinating buildings to discover.  Visit the Museum of Lincolnshire Life for a hands-on experience and learn about the people of Lincolnshire and see displays of art and archeaology at The Collection.

William the Conqueror ordered a Castle to be built in 1068, closely followed in 1072 by the Cathedral.  There are amazing plans for the Castle  over the next few years and new areas will be opened up to tell more stories of its battles and prisoners held captive.

Shopping is great too, with lots of quirky, individual shops, particularly in the Bailgate area, but head down the aptly names Steep Hill to discover Brayford Pool.  Here you can take a leisurely boat trip or ride your bike on one of the new riverside paths.

There's so much to see and do, come and visit soon.
