Welcome to Book Hotels in Lincoln
The city is a tourist centre, but is rarely overwhelmed by tourists; those who come do so to visit the numerous historic buildings including, of course, the Cathedral and the Castle and the specialist shops of Steep Hill and Bailgate. The Collection, of which the Usher Gallery is now a part, is an important attraction. Housed partly in a recently opened, purpose-built venue, it currently contains over 2,000,000 objects. Any material from official archaeological excavations in Lincolnshire is eventually deposited at in The Collection so it is growing all the time.
Other attractions include the Museum of Lincolnshire Life and The Sir Joseph Banks Conservatory at The Lawn, adjacent to Lincoln Castle. Tranquil destinations close by include Whisby Nature Reserve and Hartsholme Park, whilst noisier entertainment can be found at Waddington airfield, Scampton airfield (base of the RAF's "Red Arrows" jet aerobatic team), the County Showground or the Cadwell Park motor racing circuit near Louth.
Because of its climate Lincoln attracts many of its tourists in the summer, but also during the second weekend of December when the Bailgate area of the city holds its annual Christmas Market in and around the Castle grounds.
Following the construction of the music venue, the Engine Shed, in October 2006, a number of rock bands such as The Zutons, The Charlaltans and Babyshambles have played to "sold out" audiences.
