Location
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, both of which can be seen from windows of the property. Lincoln has two universities, the University of Lincoln and Bishop Grosseteste, and the city is full of a diverse range of shopping.

The Bailgate - known as The Bail to locals - is the Uphill section of Lincoln where you can enjoy walking around the castle gardens and cathedral, and foraging in 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, and the Usher Art Gallery and The Collection Museum slightly further down the hill.

For direct commuting to London, there are daily trains from Lincoln to London Kings Cross (travel time approximately 2 hours). The A15 northwards provides easy access to the M180 motorway network and Humberside Airport, whilst it is also within easy reach of the A1 at Markham Moor along the A57 westwards, and the A1 at Newark via the A46.
