There's an abundance of history and heritage in the county.

Lincoln's history dates back to Roman times. Within historic Lincoln's Roman walls, tour Europe's finest Gothic Cathedral and imposing medieval Castle, commissioned by William the Conqueror. Add to this a quaint shopping area with an award winning historic street and the opportunity to try a Roman Walk or a Ghost Tour and you have a fun day out the whole family will enjoy.

Discover historic hamlets and thriving market towns such as Horncastle, a renowned centre for antiques and Edwardian spa town Woodhall Spa. Elegant Stamford was described by Sir Walter Scott as "the finest scene between London and Edinburgh" and is remarkable for its fine Georgian buildings and medieval street pattern. The completeness of its architecture lead the BBC to choose Stamford as a set for its costume drama "Middlemarch".
