Lincoln - A Hidden Jewel

Category: Travel

As spring jumps into action and the sun finally begins to show its face, many of us will begin to think about taking short-breaks away. While Lanzarote certainly has its appeal, there is so much to do here in the beautiful UK. Lincolnshire is one of those hidden jewels – a lot more than just flat farmland, heading north in the county, you encounter rolling hills, farming, fishing and lots of great wildlife. To add to this you’ve got ideal cycling country, with traffic limited and long roman roads. What makes Lincolnshire an appealing holiday hotspot is its tranquillity, a unique environment and uncrowded accommodation. Accessible from the cities of the East Midlands and only an hour from London on the train you can explore the beautiful City of Lincoln and its Gothic Cathedral, once the tallest building in the world, until its spire blew down in 1549. The infamous steep hill is packed with boutique shops and cobbled streets - not for the faint hearted! There is a wonderful Roman wharf in the city centre, surrounded by restaurants, where you can relax to all types of cuisine and even take boat rides down the old Roman Fosse Canal.
