Lincoln; whose skyline is dominated by the medieval cathedral and which was used as a location for the filming of “The Da Vinci Code” is a good starting point. The Cathedral is situated in the Bailgate , with Lincoln Castle and many independent shops close by. You will also find The Collection, a museum and art gallery all with free admission.
The famous Christmas Market is held on the first weekend in December in the medieval quarter. There are over 250 stalls to browse as you get into the Christmas spirit. A useful website for more information about ghost and historic tours is www.lincolnhistoricwalks.co.uk
At the southern end of the town Lincoln Boat Trips offer trips along the river with a stop off at a local riverside pub.
The Lincolnshire Show is held every year in June and is a great day out for all the family.
