The Tennyson Hotel Guide To Lincoln


The magnificent Lincoln cathedral
The Tennyson Hotel is located in Lincoln,
a magnificent city in the East Midlands of England with much to offer all visitors to see and do in picturesque surroundings.For the tourist Lincoln is a microcosm of English history.

Always it has been a nodal settlement. The Romans established a port, Lindum Colonia, the Normans built a castle, and the mediaeval bishops built a cathedral.
See if you can find the Lincoln Imp.

   Lincoln Castle a 11th century fort opposite the cathedral

Sir Joeseph Banks established a garden in the lawn,and the Victorians built a prison in the castle. Inside the castle you can see a copy of the Magna Carta - the first charter of rights, and a historic prison chapel from when prisoners were kept in full isolation. Why not finish your visit with a walk along the castle walls to see spectacular views across Lincolnshire.

Lincoln has earned more recent notoriety as where the battle tank was invented and built in the First World War. Lincolnshire was the home of the Bomber Force in the Second World War.

The Waterside Centre alongside the River Witham
Lincoln is also a great place to shop with modern centres and malls alongside the River Witham, and the old railway station at St Marks. Specialist bookshops and antiques can be found up Steep Hill and in and off the square linking the cathedral and castle.

 
Now Lincoln has established its own university, and has among its many attractions:

  • The Medieval Bishop's Palace
  • Ellis Mill (working windmill)
  • Museum of Lincolnshire Life - St Mary's Guildhall (12th C)
    where the earliest surviving battle tank built in Lincoln can be seen.
  • Usher Art Gallery -houses collections on Tennyson, drawings and paintings by Peter de Wint, and a growing collection of 20th century paintings and ceramics.
  • Theatre Royal
  • the High Bridge: the oldest bridge with buildings in England
This just gives you a taste of what Lincoln has to offer- please come to find out for yourself.
