LINCOLN | A look around Lincoln City Centre (including Castle and Cathedral tour)

LINCOLN | A look around Lincoln City Centre (including Castle and Cathedral tour)
We take a walk around the city centre and look inside Lincoln Cathedral and Lincoln Castle
Also watch our tour of Sheffield - • SHEFFIELD CITY CENTRE ...
Lincoln is a city in Lincolnshire in the East Midlands part of England. It's famous for it's cathedral, it's castle and it's historic city streets with medieval buildings and fantastic shops.
Gimbal Walk TV takes a look around the city centre to see the things to do in Lincoln and to take a look at the things to see in Lincoln to see what it's like here and what is has to offer tourists and visitors coming to visit the tourist attractions and to do some shopping in the little independent shops here.
Our LIncoln tour begins at Newport Arch on Newport.
Newport Arch is a 3rd-century Roman gate in the city of Lincoln, Lincolnshire. It is a Scheduled monument and Grade I listed building and is reputedly the oldest arch in the United Kingdom still used by traffic.
We then proceed along Bailgate. Early each December the Bailgate area holds a Christmas Market in and around the Castle grounds, shaped by the traditional German-style Christmas markets
Our LIncoln walk then brings us to St Mary Magdalene, Bailgate, a Grade II listed parish church in Lincoln, England. It is dedicated to Jesus' companion, Mary Magdalene.
From there we head through Exchequer Gate, three splendid arched walkways located at the cathedral end of Castle Hill. The gate was constructed during the 14th century and it is here that local tenants came to pay rent to the church.
Then we reach Minster Yard and the star of the show, Lincoln Cathedral. It's a medieval cathedral, once the tallest building in the world, with tours and a Wren-designed library.
Lincoln Cathedral, Lincoln Minster, or the Cathedral Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Lincoln and sometimes St Mary's Cathedral, in Lincoln, England, is a Grade I listed cathedral and is the seat of the Anglican Bishop of Lincoln. Construction commenced in 1072 and continued in several phases throughout the High Middle Ages. Like many of the medieval cathedrals of England it was built in the Early Gothic style.
The cathedral is the fourth largest in the UK (in floor area) at around 5,000 square metres (54,000 sq ft), after Liverpool, St Paul's and York Minster.
Next up we visit Lincoln Castle, a historic ruined Norman fortress later used as a prison, with exhibits & guided tours. Built by William the Conqueror in 1068 on a site occupied since Roman times, Lincoln Castle has dominated the Lincoln skyline for almost one thousand years. Within the Castle Walls is a Victorian prison giving an insight into crime and punishment in the Lincoln of the past.
We end our LIncoln walking tour at Steep Hill, a steep, cobbled street, lined with independent shops, tea rooms and restaurants that leads to and from Lincoln Cathedral, Lincoln Castle and the Cathedral Quarter.
Steep Hill in Lincoln is England’s Fourth Steepest Street
Steep Hill first became used by the residents of Lincoln when the city was called Lindum Colonia and the Roman inhabitants decided to expand the settlement down the hill. Excavations has shown that the hill used to be lined by steps during that time.
Today, Steep Hill is famous for its independent businesses - vintage boutiques, quaint tea rooms, chocolate & fudge parlours, and more. The steep, cobbled street, with a 16.12º gradient, was voted Britain's Great Street in 2012 by the Academy of Urbanism and named the fourth steepest street in England by the Ordnance Survey.

It’s amazing that a guitarist follows you around playing the whole time you are walking.

🤣🤣🤣

I was born in Lincoln and shared a flat at the top of lindum hill with a view out of the kitchen window at night it really was beautifully illuminated.

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Bet that was fantastic 👍👍👍

[@Alan-mj2jx]

@@GimbalWalkTV yes, I shared the flat that's on top of lindum hill 1975/6 the rent was 33 quid a month 'tween me and my buddy great Guinness in the pub nearly opposite, of which the name escapes me, annoying that. Distance from the cathedral? not much more than a stone throw really. Don't know if you know Lincoln but the whole of Lincs is flat as a pancake, quite boring really,but the City is well worth a look.

Thank you Neil for another great video. You show us some amazing places. Not been there for years. Modern places can not compare. Hope you found Rebecca, or she found you before you left that beautiful building. Not been to the castle. Does that dragon have a name? Thanks again for showing us around such amazing places. Please keep walking.👍👍💯

Dragon's called Lucy I think! Thanks for watching Sandra! Rebecca says hello!

One of my favourite cities to visit in the United Kingdom, I remember in secondary school we were taken to Lincoln for the day , and the joke was standing out the Magna Carta Pub

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Great place for a school trip!

[@madmattuk1234]

My home city. I have many happy memories of catering college and going for a night out. It's a wonderful place to live

[@JANGLEPOP1]

Lovely video of a beautiful City. The Cathedral has some great gargoyles on the outside, some are new ones recently carved-they are terrific.

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Thank you - I'll definitely be looking out for those on my next trip!

[@allysonrollitt210]

I’m Lincoln born and bred and very proud of our beautiful castle and cathedral. Next time you’ll have to do the wall walk at the castle, you’ll get amazing views of the Cathedral and across the city. Thanks for another great video 😊

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Yes I haven't done that wall walk yet but would love to - definitely on the next visit!

Ah you missed graduation ceremony then when the procession leads from the Castle to the Cathedral and then back XD Beautiful City, very relaxed compared to others. Well worth a visit. Be sure to get a look over the City from the castle walls, really impressive view on a clear day. Surprised you didn't go up on the Castle Walls

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Didnt' have time sadly

[@Soarwithjoy]

Thanks

Thank you so much!! Just woke up to your kind donation and it's set me up for the day! I'll put it towards petrol to the next destination! 👍🏻 Have a TOP week

[@michw3755]

It's hard to believe it's a city, it's almost more market townish, would love to visit, I believe they have a famous Christmas market😃👍

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Yes, true!

[@davidsummerfield2594]

This tour is the old part of the city on the hill, go down the hill and you find the modern city!

[@maureenleigh4724]

Yes the market is very good at Christmas

[@poppletop8331]

A city status is given to places with a Cathedral or sometimes population size. Lincoln is around the 78th largest place in the UK.

[@user-oe8rx4qh8v]

Not any more.

When I lived at Rippinggale in the 1970's the local church took us to the Cathedral and its a huge and stunning building. Live in Halifax Yorkshire now.

I worked in Lincoln for years up until 2002 it looks very quiet from what I remember.

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Yes thats' what I thought too - couldn't understand why it was so quiet

[@lincolnengland5005]

It was blisteringly hot here that weekend and I suspect most folks stayed at home. If you came on a 'normal' Saturday in the summer you'd probably find it a lot busier than you remembered. The Uni' has really built up and brought a big influx of people from outside of Lincoln - at least our gene pool is getting healthier!

No you have to pay to enter.
