Lincoln

Lincoln was originally a Roman settlement of great importance nearly 2000 years ago and the roman legacy can be clearly seen around the City. Halfway farm is situated on the original Roman Fosse Way (now the A46) and the Fossdyke Canal, a major engineering feat links the Trent and Witham rivers.

The Norman Conquest a thousand years later led to the building of the Castle and Cathedral, the latter being one of Britain's largest and finest places of worship. Sited on Lincoln's highest point, the floodlit Cathedral at night appears to float above the City and is a spectacular landmark for the traveler approaching Lincoln.

Not far from the Cathedral are many examples, in both timber and stone, of the buildings of the medieval City of Lincoln. The Stonebow and Guildhall, the Norman Jew's House, and the Cardinal's Hat are a selection of the many ancient and interesting landmarks to be seen.
