Lincoln Cathedral
The Cathedral is the spiritual centre of the City, the Mother Church of the Diocese, the parish church of the County, a place of national heritage and a centre of international pilgrimage. It provides a space for God, a focus for prayer and an opportunity for praise and worship.
In any one year there are 1768 statutory services in the Cathedral. In addition to this, special services, exhibitions, concerts and other events total in excess of 250, so the Cathedral is very much an activity centre, as well as a worship centre with sacred events at its core. The worship of God has been continuously offered within its walls since 1092.
Lincoln Castle
By Norman times, Lincoln was the third city of the realm in prosperity and importance.
In 1068, two years after the Battle of Hastings, William the Conqueror began building Lincoln Castle on a site occupied since Roman times.
For 900 years the castle was used as a court and prison with many being executed on the ramparts.
Many original features still remain and the wall walks provide visitors with magnificent views of the Cathedral, the City of Lincoln and the surrounding countryside.
Lincoln Castle is situated in the North/ Historic centre of Lincoln. The nearest parking facilities can be found at The Lawn Visitor Centre, Union Road, Lincoln and Westgate Carpark, Westgate, Lincoln
