LINCOLN | 4K Narrated Walking Tour | Let's Walk 2021

[@LetsWalkUK]

🎤 To watch with subtitles, please click the 'CC' button on your KZbin video player :) Good evening! And welcome to this narrated tour of the magnificent, historic city of Lincoln - a true cradle of English history with the best part of 2,000 years of heritage to be found at every corner! On this walk around the city, we just about scratch the surface of Lincoln's illustrious history, but one thing we didn't mention on this walk was the origins of its name. Very simply, the name is a portmanteau of the original Roman colonial settlement - Lindum Colonia - which itself was an adaptation of the native Celtic name 'Lindon', meaning 'The Pool', which very possibly referred to Brayford Pool near High Bridge, and where the University of Lincoln is now located!

Thank you fir this, it has made me almost terminally homesick, but what a beautiful city.

I love watching ur vlogs on lincoln I lived there for 28 years

[@rosemaryfranzese317]

Lincoln is perhaps the most underrated city in England, it seems to slip under the radar but I loved it and it’s a beautiful place

[@Bigbro28]

I lived in Newark until 1969 when I came out to Oz but Lincoln had always been my favourite city, together with its Cathedral.

[@CartoonrBOY]

I work in the City and once lived on Langworthgate - just 300 meters from Cathy, our beautiful Cathedral. It's a lovely place to live as well as being rather cheap too - the best of both worlds. It's nice to see it appreciated here, as living here it's easy to become somewhat desensitized to its charm. You pass by the Cathedral every day, and while it's always breathtaking, you can take it for granted. It's only when visitors marvel at it or you see it through someone else’s eyes that you’re reminded just how special it truly is. Thank you!

[@barbarahague6843]

Thank you for this video. I really enjoyed walking around the areas of Lincoln that I used to roam during the 40s50s and 60s. Some has changed and modernised but Lincoln is still the Lincoln of my childhood.

[@barbaranorthmore4115]

Very informative and has well prepared me for my trip to Lincoln this weekend. Definately the best video on Lincoln.

[@adgeman]

Just wanted to say thanks; this is one of the best walking videos I've seen. Absolutely perfect for planning our trip there soon.

[@williamfairchild7439]

I really like Lincoln with places like the New Theatre Royal, the Everyman and Odeon Cinemas, the High Street, the Drill Hall, St Marks etc

[@barbsdee3831]

I’ve lived a short distance from this wonderful city nearly all my life and I’ve learnt lots from your video! Thank you 🙏🏻

[@k333vrr4]

I love my city & luckily live close to the cathedral. Ive said on many occasions its the best hidden city in England. People talk about York, yes lovely, BUT Lincoln is Lincolnshire, York isn't Yorkshire. We are the Shire as 1 city, Lincoln a jewel in the crown. 🍺🍺👍👍

[@Bigbro28]

I came out to Oz in 1969 but Lincoln has always been my favourite city. 🐨

[@pinkymoo]

FYI University of Lincoln is not the only university in the town. There is also Bishop Grosseteste University which is in Up Hill Lincoln and is named after one of the Bishops of Lincoln.

[@deelirious]

I lived here for a while, it is nice to come back like this.

[@bevstone1965]

my first visit a week ago and I only live in Norfolk, spent over 2 days exploring and would certainly visit again, a beautiful place and so much to see and explore

[@michellebruce5092]

Great video I enjoyed it can't wait to see more soon have a great day greetings from Canada 😀

[@marco6636]

What a valuable asset you are to the KZbin channel 👏 👏 Please keep sending us many more sensational videos like this one🙏 May we continue to build old historical buildings.

[@garywilliams4262]

I travel extensively, all over the World, normally to historic sites Prior to travelling, I like to research, including using KZbin. I must compliment you, this has been one of the most interesting and informative videos, I have watched. Really appreciate it.

[@undinia]

There’s a blue plaque outside Browns Pie shop on steep hill. T E Laurence lived there while writing Seven Pillars of Wisdom.

[@havingalook2]

Planning on going this summer - the was a most delightful introduction to the beautiful and historic city. Well Done, thank you.

[@pennylane9730]

Lincoln has lots of history.

[@crushthevicar]

Doctor Akice Riberts did a series of documentaries about cities and towns in England, and she called Lincoln "England's most historic town" .

[@FranzBieberkopf]

When visiting the cathedral, go to the cloisters. It's very quiet there, and if you go in summer or spring, you may hear the noise of a family of peregrine falcons who nest on one of the rowers. Lincoln is a great place to visit

[@yhadzayque3638]

Beautiful place, it captivated my heart, I wish someday I can visit Lincoln too, I just love historical places ♥️♥️♥️

[@ExpeditionHiker]

Really enjoyed this walk, you have inspired me to go and visit Lincoln for myself thanks

[@krob2327]

It’s a great county. Much maligned.

[@crushthevicar]

You will love it , it is beautiful.

[@LivingWalks]

Thanks for this insightful walk, we’d like to visit this city again and more so from having seen this. Best wishes to you and keep on walking!

[@davidwinkle4168]

When I lived here back in the 1960's, you were able to climb the stone spiral staircase to the top of the Cathedral tower. I've been up there twice and there is one mighty view from up there. Also, double decker busses used to go under the Stonebow arch before the high street was pedestrianised, the high street being a major route through the city prior to the inner ring roads being built, The last time I was in Lincoln was when the Grand Hotel stood on the site of the new bus station.

[@gazzertrn]

Wow , just wow . what a great review of lincoln . Due to go there next week as part of my travelling holiday . so looking forward too it . thankyou so much .

[@paulrowe9604]

Brilliant video !!!!!

[@michaellyne8773]

Thank you for your interesting tutorial of Lincoln City, also narrated very well. Thank you.

[@shikawilai]

Beautiful

[@richardwaring8613]

My mother remembers the black and white building which I think is the tourist office as being the National and Provincial bank when the city was more of a workhorse rather than a show pony. Just along from where I was born was Lincoln Prison,where a certain Micheàl Collins helped spring Eamon de Valera from prison.

[@bubbleshoot]

Excellent video, great commentary!

[@jasonlavelle3293]

17:56 that used to me a joke shop. Many good memories there.

[@glenjones6980]

My hometown, It's a good job I wasn't walking with you as I could have narrated tales of 30 plus buildings on that walk detailing my family history, pub and shops they ran, tales of the hotels, the foundry that made lamp standards still found in the city, the baptisms and weddings at the churches along with the many funerals of three centuries of my ancestors and relatives. Within 50 yards of where the walk ended there would be a dozen stories alone including the grandson of a shop owner who was awarded the DSO and OBE as well as the birthplace of my parents and several maternal generations, not forgetting not one but two family members who became the oldest residents of Lincoln during their lives. Through marriage I have a link to the widow of a clergyman who move to Lincoln shortly before WWI after her husband died and the tragic story of how she lost five sons in the war. The street she lived on has a story connected to a fateful night during WWII as well.

[@barbarahague6843]

Thank you. Maybe we shall read or listen to the stories that you can tell. It really brings history alive when one can hear about the people of the times. 🤗🥰💓🦘🦘

[@gatocat3336]

A very interesting video and very well narrated

[@deankirk8554]

I love Lincoln and its an hour by train 🚆 from my village 💪

[@Lincslad17]

Great video, really insightful.

[@terrydavis9931]

Great Vlog

[@krob2327]

What a nice place.

Great job with the narration.

Lovely

[@houghtonstreet3392]

Lincoln is absolutely lovely, just as much as Skye

[@cosmo9882]

Thank you.

[@davyjones844]

Nice Vlog

[@praywink]

Oh look it's my home city, i wasn't born here so i'm not a yellow belly, moved to Lincoln back in the early 80's

[@glenfordburrell1076]

Very enjoyable. Didn't the derogatory phrase "it's a shambles", originate from Lincoln due to the state of it's local meat markets. I also heard that both Walt Disney's family and the Pembertons - the inventors of Coca-Cola are also from this neck of the woods.

[@nocomply27]

There's a village outside of Lincoln called Norton Disney which was home to the Disney family, although nobody is 100% sure Walt Disney is part of that family specifically.

[@luapnosboh7421]

Shambles is york

[@davefogg6335]

​@@nocomply27there's a video on KZbin that shows photos of Walt Disney visiting Norton Disney and I think there's a plaque or something dedicated to his visit

[@person-hy9ve]

If you look up in the cathedral you can see the Lincoln imp idk if he said that

[@alfiecat9288]

The castle gaol wasn’t just a debtors prison as it housed several high profile,dangerous inmates; such as Michael Collins, head of the IRA, who actually effected an escape from there.

[@Scrimjer]

I feel this was the 1st video I saw of yours?

[@dream-67]

I thought Salisbury and Norwich were taller cathedrals?

[@robholloway6829]

They are now, but Lincoln Cathedral's spire collapsed in 1548 and was never rebuilt. It overtook the Great Pyramid of Giza as the tallest building in the world.

[@crushthevicar]

Lincoln used to have spires, that was when it was the tallest building in the world. There is a painting of it by Turner, if you wish to see ot then.

[@pennylane9730]

My daughter got her degree there

[@alcedo_kf]

Interesting, Im up to minute 15 and havent seen any signs of the 'eleets' 'forced @gend@' present, as is present in many other English cities. Ive mamy memories from Lincoln.

Fatal mistake by Cromwell to allow the Jews back in to England...

Opinions such as yours should be banned, You are a bigot and should be ashamed.

[@EgoShredder]

@@maureenleigh4724 No opinions should be banned, not even yours. I would be more ashamed of being proud of upholding the misery of others, as you are perhaps unwittingly doing. The thing is I am not wrong in what I say, which you would realise if you bothered to step outside of your NPC normie bubble and questioned EVERYTHING.

[@maureenleigh4724]

@@EgoShredder I won't bother to reply to your outdated views. The Nazis thought they were right, too.

I wonder what he'd think about current plans of the 'eleets'for England.
