Lincoln, a city in the east of England, is 2000 years old with a lot of interesting buildings to see. The cathedral is in the north of the city just outside the main city centre. You can walk to many of Lincoln’s other attractions from the cathedral. It is not far from the ancient castle. There is a delightful view of the city from there. Behind the castle is the Lawn, an old hospital, which is now a museum with shops and a café.

During the summer, walking tours leave from the Tourist Information Centre, which is next to the castle. They are not expensive, last about an hour and tourists can visit all the main attractions, especially some very interesting museums.

In the middle of the city centre, there are some beauty spots away from the crowds. For example, you can walk by the river or take a boat trip. Trips leave from Bay ford Pool.

You can travel to Lincoln by train, bus or car. It is 216 km from London. The bus station is beside the river and the railway station is a few minutes’ walk away from the bus station on the  other side of St Mary’s Street.
