Lincoln - A Cathedral City Of England

Lincoln carries the name of a Cathedral town as it contains its own cathedral

. This town is located in Lincolnshire, England. This is a very old town as the very first town has been dated to the 1st century BC during the Iron Age.

This old age is probably because of the deep pool that can be found at the bottom of the hill so it was a defensible position that had its own water. The Romans used this spot as the capital of their land in England called the Linndum colonia.

A great example of Norman Castle that is still standing is Lincoln Castle. This castle was built at the end of the 11th century by William the Conqueror at the spot that once held a pre-existing Roman fortress.

William the Conqueror built Lincoln Castle in the second half of the 11th century. This was erected on what was once the site of a roman fortress. This spot was deemed to be strategically important to control the interior of England. Lincoln has seen plenty of battle sand there were several well known fights of which the castle was involved. You can visit the castle and it is considered to be a great example of a Norman castle.

Of the many roman gates that were built in the 3rd century as a gateway into the city only the Newport arch still remains. The road under the archway is still used making it the oldest used arch the United Kingdom. This is the original north gate and there were two other options in which you could enter the city.

A popular but strenuous hike is the walk up Steep Hill. This street is in the historic part of town and most individuals that partake in the climb up need to use the provided hand rails. As you can image the name comes from the steep gradient of the street. You can stop and rest at one of the many tea rooms, pubs and independent shops as most people will need to stop for a rest going up and coming down the hill.

If you want a bit of the tropics then you should visit the Sir Joseph Banks conservatory named after the famous explorer and naturalist.
