Lincoln is a vibrant city with a rich and interesting history. During the Roman era Lincoln was known as 'Lindum Colonia' developed from an Iron Age Settlement on the River Witham. The two most notable attractions are the spectacular 11th century Cathedral and the Castle close to Bailgate Court in the city's cultural Cathedral Quarter. Lincoln has two universities, the University of Lincoln and Bishop Grosseteste, and the city is full of a diverse range of shopping.
The Bailgate is the Uphill section of Lincoln where you can enjoy walking around the castle gardens and cathedral, and the popular Bailgate shopping area – quirky streets full of specialist shops including boutiques, antique shops, crafts, book and gift shops, not to mention tea rooms and restaurants. These quaint shops are surrounded by the remains of medieval Lincoln, black timber-framed buildings and even some hidden Romans remains. Enjoy regular artists’ and farmers’ markets in the Castle Square as well as the annual Christmas Market, always a fabulous event. It also has the Usher Art Gallery and The Collection Museum slightly further down the hill.
