I have been to Lincoln on four occasions three times on leisure trips from East Yorkshire and once on a business trip and must say I find it a very pleasant city. It is neither too big,nor is is it too small. In short what I am implying is that it is close to being an ideal size.
Lincoln has a lot more attractions to visit than is often pre-supposed. Most people know that its Cathedral is famous. It certainly is an awe inspiring building and one of the most beautiful in England. Building work commenced back in the 11 th century but it was largely rebuilt in the 12th and 13 th Centuries in English Gothic style.
Sharing the hilltop setting with Lincoln Cathedral is Lincoln Castle. It was constructed on the site of an old Roman fortress. There is a prison chapel with strange coffin like pews and visitors,can,if they so wish, tour the dundeons and walk along the walls. You do get a good view.
There are several good museums in the city such as the Museum of Lincolnshire Life where you can obtain a good insight into life in the County and for children there is the Fantastic Old Toy Show. The Usher Gallery has a good collection of locally made pottery ,as well as watches and miniatures; there are also paintings and bits and pieces related to Alfred Lord Tennyson who was born in Lincolnshire.
The River Witham is nice and nearby is the University.Lincoln is a progressive and vibrant city and is a good shopping centre. There are some good pubs in Lincoln,one or two night clubs and a good range of ethnic eateries.It is well worth checking out.
