Living In The City of Lincoln

The city of Lincoln is a treasure-trove of historical gems with a contemporary twist. The largest jewel in Lincolnshire’s crown is Lincoln Cathedral which can be seen from miles around and perches majestically on the city’s skyline.

When you live in Lincolnshire the Cathedral city is never far away. The cobbled streets of the Bailgate have a wealth of independent boutiques from fashion to food, and as you meander down Steep Hill onto the High Street you’ll also discover the recently opened Cornhill Quarter retail and events centre, which will keep you entertained with big brands, delicious food, cocktails and a boutique cinema.

Lincolnshire is one of the largest counties in England with countryside reaching into all four corners.

Escaping the day job is easy, with rolling hills, tracks and trails that you can meander through. Lincolnshire’s great countryside and areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty are a walking and cycling paradise.

A procession of quiet country lanes, canal-side cycleways and reclaimed railway paths will connect you to historic market towns and villages, past abbeys, ruined castles, centuries old farmsteads and some of the oldest churches in Britain.

And the Lincolnshire Wolds will show you that the county is anything but flat.
