DISCOVER HISTORY
THROUGH A DIFFERENT LENS
It’s not just a sense of awe and wonder you feel when you step inside
the sacred grounds of Lincoln Cathedral, but also one of stepping into a
vivid past spanning over a thousand years of English history.
The Cathedral Connected £12m regeneration project, which was
completed last year, included the building of a stunning new visitor centre
as well as exhibition and education spaces which now bring that history
to life like never before. Don’t forget to download our augmented reality
app (visitlincoln.com/ar) to get a deeper sense of life at the Cathedral and
throughout the city.
Across the cobbled square from this Gothic masterpiece lies Lincoln Castle,
where you can see one of only four copies of the renowned Magna Carta.
It’s back on view in March 2022 after its annual conservation rest period.
One of the best ways to explore the Castle is with a guided tour. The same
goes for nearby Lincoln Guildhall, one of the most important late medieval
gateways still standing in England. The award-winning Guildhall guides are
enthusiastic and knowledgeable, sharing the fascinating past behind the
treasures and regalia of the city.
Come and find out for yourself on these tours of discovery.
