Lincoln & surrounding area
This beautiful, historic cathedral city has much to
offer its residents as well as over one million tourists
who visit here each year. The city has a rich and
diverse history, which has seen much turmoil and change.
Romans, Vikings and Normans have all contributed to
Lincoln’s history and development. The Romans arrived in
48AD and soon after Lincoln found renown as one of the
finest cities in Europe. But it was when the Norman
invasion took hold of the country that the magnificent
Cathedral, once the tallest building in the world, and
impenetrable Castle, were built, providing Lincoln’s two
most impressive heritage attractions today.
In medieval times the city’s wealth was derived from
the wool trade and fine examples of the rich merchants’
black and white timbered houses still survive today. The
18th and 19th centuries brought industrial innovation
and change, and Lincoln became a major engineering and
agricultural centre. The industrial development
continues in the 21st century and the historic and
modern cities coexist harmoniously today, providing a
centre of great interest and beauty for its residents
and students.
