Lincoln Must-Sees

Lincoln’s historic core features a concentration of Roman and medieval landmarks. The 11th-century cathedral and castle dominate the skyline, with the latter housing an original copy of the 1215 Magna Carta. Roman heritage remains visible at Newport Arch, the oldest arch in the UK still used by traffic. Cultural insights continue at the Museum of Lincolnshire Life, detailing the region's industrial past, while Cobb Hall offers a glimpse into the city's judicial history within the castle walls.
