General presentation

Lincoln et Lincolnshire Wolds

Spectacular cathedral town, castle, steep streets and discreet agricultural hills to Lincolnshire Wolds.

The discovery of Lincoln and Lincolnshire Wolds revolves around Lincoln Cathedral, Lincoln Castle and Lincolnshire Wolds. The stay thus alternates between urban life, heritage and the countryside, which gives a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.

See all

For a stay of 2 to 4 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: very steep center. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting

A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.

Cathedral

Lincoln Cathedral

4.8 / 5· Hidengo1 hr 30 min to 2 hr 30 min

Lincoln Cathedral dominates the high city with a powerful Gothic silhouette, visible long before reaching its gates. Inside, vaults, stained glass, chapels and carved details give a large and slow visit, while the steep streets around reinforce the feeling of arriving in a separate neighborhood.

Castle

Lincoln Castle

4.5 / 5· Hidengo1 hr 30 min to 2 hr 30 min

Lincoln Castle opposes the nearby cathedral with a world of walls, fortified doors and courtyards where the history of the city takes a more political turn. The round path gives beautiful angles on Lincoln's roofs, the cathedral towers and, beyond, the low country that explains the strength of this position.

Historical street

Steep Hill

4.4 / 5· Hidengo20 min to 45 min

Steep Hill connects the lower town to the high town by a paved climb lined with old houses, shops, tea rooms and very photographed facades. The effort is part of the experience: each break offers a different angle on Lincoln, until the spectacular arrival near the castle and the cathedral.

Hills

Lincolnshire Wolds

4.2 / 5· Hidengo2 hours to 4 hours

The Lincolnshire Wolds offer a country of gentle hills, rural roads, hedges and quiet villages, far from the flat image often associated with the county. The area is suitable for tension-free walks, slow roads and travellers who like discreet English landscapes rather than demonstrative.
