A visit to the historic city of Lincoln is a must, as there are so many things to do and see. It is an easy 40 minute drive from Low Farm.
Lincoln Cathedral offers an unforgettable experience with its amazing architecture of crazy vaults and flying buttresses. See the inspirational art of stained glass, carved angels and medieval manuscripts. Take a guided tour or follow your own trail, visit Sir Christopher Wren's first library, browse for a book or souvenir in the well-stocked shop and stop to enjoy the 'Tastes of Lincolnshire' in the Cloister Refectory.
Enjoy the magnificent views of Lincoln from the Castle which has over 900 years of history. 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 the Roman times. To enlarge the site, 166 Saxon houses were demolished and this fine building dominated the skyline until the cathedral was built. It is one of only two castles in Britain built with two mottes. For 900 years the castle has been used as a court and prison. Many original features still remain and the wall walks provide visitors with some magnificent views of the cathedral, the City of Lincoln and the surrounding countryside.
Lincoln has two thousand years of history and yet is a vibrant, modern city with lively new shops, award winning museums and galleries, popular restaurants, pubs and cafes. Whilst on the waterfront why not sit back, relax and enjoy the sights of Lincoln from a different perspective aboard a guided boat trip along the Fossdyke Navigation, believed to be the oldest Roman canal in the country.
