Lincoln Cathedral

Highlight • Viewpoint

Lincoln is an inspiring city, rich in history. From the iconic Cathedral first built in 1072, and recognised as one of the finest examples of Gothic architecture in all of Europe, to the Castle, to the cobblestone streets of Steep Hill, there is something here for everyone.

Lincoln Castle West Gate

Highlight • Castle

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.
