Lincoln Castle is in very close proximity to Lincoln Cathedral so both should be visited on the same day, good photo opportunities of the cathedral can be gained by visiting the castle too.

Enjoyed walk round battlements and prison was interesting especially the chapel which was very intimidating! Feel it needs more 'atmosphere' staff should maybe dress in period costumes and there could be recorded voices in rooms and 'soldiers' shouting in battlements etc

I live locally and never get tired of taking my visitors to Lincoln Castle. On a nice sunny day you can easily spend a good 4 hours strolling around the grounds and investigating the various nooks and crannies. The Prison is a really unique experience. You get some great views from the Castle Walls and work is going on at...
