Lincoln Cottages

Holiday Cottages in Lincoln

Approach Lincoln from any direction and towering above the rural landscape you’ll see magnificent Lincoln Cathedral, one of the finest gothic buildings in the country and its Norman Castle where you’ll find one of the last four remaining copies of Magna Carta.  Home of scientist Sir Isaac Newton and poet Alfred Lord Tennyson, the surrounding countryside is full of history, heritage and rural charm.

Browse the quirky shops in the cultural quarter of Lincoln with its cobbled square and castle; walk down ‘Steep Hill’ to art galleries and museums or visit the bustling shops, cinemas and restaurants along the vibrant waterfront of Brayford Pool.  Enjoy too exploring the charming villages and countryside of the Lincolnshire Wolds and historic Stamford, all of which make Lincoln a great choice for your cottage holiday in a beautiful and often overlooked part of the UK.

Things to do in Lincoln

In ‘uphill’ Lincoln heritage hunters head for majestic Lincoln Cathedral and just over the square Lincoln Castle where you’ll find the Magna Carta – penned in 1215 in Latin, it is arguably the most significant early influence on the rights we now take for granted, plus, magnificent views from the castle ramparts.  Downhill, the Usher Art Gallery and free Archaeology Museum The Collection are handily opposite each other.  Everyone will marvel at the exotic plants in the tropical house at Sir Joseph Banks Conservatory at ‘The Lawn’ or count the swans from a relaxed boat trip on the picturesque Brayford.

Great days out include: Rand Farm Park found a couple of miles outside the city, also the 375 acres of lakes, woods and grasslands that make up Whisby Nature Park.  Enjoy walking, cycling, fishing and for seaside fun take a day trip out to Skegness and drop into the National Parrot Sanctuary on the way back!
