These days Lincoln is counted among the UK’s smaller cities; the current population of around 100,000 doesn’t even rank it in the top 70. But it hasn’t always been like that. Population records become sketchier the further back you go, but we do know that in Roman times Lincoln was one of the largest settlements in the country. London was already t...
Connecting Lincoln to the River Trent at Torksey, the Fossdyke Navigation was built by the Romans over 2,000 years ago and is the oldest canal still in use in the UK. The Fossdyke is lined by a pathway that provides some lovely countryside walking opportunities. The trail passes through the picturesque Burton Waters and the quaint village of Saxilb...
One of the things we love about Lincoln is its abundance of water features. The most prominent of these is the Brayford Waterfront, a natural lake formed where the Fossdyke meets the River Witham. Close to the heart of the city centre, it has become a hub for dining and entertainment after a series of developments in recent decades. While it is now...

Characteristically long and straight, the greatest of these roads was Fosse Way, which extended over 200 miles from Exeter to Lincoln. The sections of Fosse Way near Lincoln have been transformed into what is now the A46, linking the city with Leicester.

High Bridge, which carries the High Street at its busiest point across the River Witham, is the oldest bridge in the UK that still has occupied buildings on it. High Bridge was built in the 12th century and is now a grade I listed building. The striking black...
One of the Roman relics still proudly visible in Lincoln today is the Newport Arch.

The arch was part of a wall that once encircled the city, and opened the way into the centre from the north side for traders. Despite being pr...
Lincoln may not be renowned for wine production, but the city does happen to feature the country’s only vineyard that is housed inside an English Heritage property. You will find said vineyard inside the grounds of Lincoln Medieval Bishop’s Palace. The vineyard is part of a contemporary garden that was re-landscaped in 2012, the vines being a gift ...
Jewish people have suffered persecution throughout history wherever they have travelled in the world, and the story in the UK is no different. In 1255, a group of 18 Jews who had gathered in Lincoln for a wedding were accused – with little basis – of murdering a young English boy, and were summarily executed. Some 35 years later, the entire Jewish ...
During the High Middle Ages, Lincoln’s economy centred around the production of wool. The city’s dyers created a fabric colour that became known as Lincoln Green, created by blending strong blue woad with yellow weld. Over the years, a connection has grown between the shade of Lincoln Green and Robin Hood and his Merry Men. In many popular depictio...
