Mighty Lincoln Heritage Trail – City Walk

Discover Lincoln’s Historic Heights – A Walking Trail Through the Upper City

Step into the heart of one of England’s most historically significant cities with the Lincoln Upper Town Trail—a journey through centuries of heritage, power, and architectural splendour.

Divided by the iconic Steep Hill, Lincoln’s upper section was once the domain of the city’s elite. Today, it invites visitors to explore its cobbled streets and uncover stories etched into stone. This self-guided trail takes you past elegant medieval homes, some dating as far back as the 12th century, each with its own tale to tell.

At the centre of it all stand two unmissable landmarks—Lincoln Cathedral, a Gothic masterpiece once the tallest building in the world, and Lincoln Castle, where echoes of royal authority and historic trials still resonate within the walls.

But there’s more than meets the eye. Hidden beneath the layers of time are fascinating traces of Roman Lincoln, often overlooked but revealed along this trail for the curious and observant.

Whether you’re a lover of history, architecture, or simply a fan of atmospheric places, the Upper Town Trail is the perfect way to uncover Lincoln’s layered past and vibrant present.
