A two storey gate tower was built in the late 11th or early 12th century. During the 13th or 14th century it was filled with stones and rubble, so blocking it and putting the gateway out of use for many hundreds of years. However, in April 1993 the gate was re-opened after the decision was made to excavate it. The Lincoln Castle Stone Masons spent two years rebuilding the gateway and each stone was hand adjusted. Incidentally the Roman wall was buried within an earth rampart and extended upward to form the Norman castle wall. The Roman west gate (on the same site as the castle's west gate) was excavated in the 19th century but collapsed on exposure.

Curtis of Lincoln

Highlight • Cafe

We visited Curtis of Lincoln on a road ride down to Lincoln. It's a small, quaint bakery, sandwich shop, café, type place situated 5 minutes out of the city centre. We were served by two lovely ladies, Shelley & Ruth who went out of their way to make us feel welcome. They even brought us chairs and a table outside for us to sit at. The food was excellent, probably the best stake bake I've ever had, we couldn't have been happier. Perfect for cyclists looking for that refuel station 😊👍
