City of Lincoln
City of Lincoln
A unique, heritage experience filled with historical arts and culture
The city is crowned by Lincoln Cathedral, one of Europe's finest examples of Gothic architecture, which sits across a picturesque cobbled square from Lincoln Castle, built by William the Conqueror in the 11th century. The engineering city, famous for inventing the tank during World War 1, is still innovating and building. The engineering school at the University of Lincoln is the first in the UK for more than 20 years, built in partnership with world famous company Siemens, and the Science and Innovation Park is home to state of the art research and laboratory facilities, with technology, chemistry, pharmaceutical and medical science at its heart. Lincoln is proud to boast two Universities; Bishop Grossteste University, with a vast curriculum, are experts in education and have been training teachers since 1862! Did you know that Lincoln is the only place in the world where you can find original copies of both the 1215 Magna Carta and the 1217 Charter of the Forest? That makes it a hugely popular visitor destination, and the local hospitality and catering industry is booming.
