Lincoln Holidays

For UK holidays that combine such disparate worlds as history and shopping, Lincoln breaks can't be beaten. The retail element of your Lincoln holiday centres around the big High Street names, boutiques, specialist shops and markets that proliferate in the city. Further spending is also possible on your Lincoln holidays around Brayford Wharf, a fashionable area that was once a Roman port, but is now a marina with a large cinema, bars, restaurants and a hotel. Rubbing shoulders with this icon of the modern world is 800-year-old Lincoln Cathedral, seen as one of Europe's most beautiful medieval buildings. Lincoln Castle is worth a visit, too, if only to see one of the four surviving copies of the Magna Carta.
 

Holidays in the UK are all about getting out and about and, in such a fascinating county, you'll want to leave your holiday cottage, holiday lodge or holiday park and discover the beauty of Lincoln and Lincolnshire. The flat countryside on your Lincoln holidays makes for excellent walking, cycling and horse riding, and if you sail or fish, the miles of waterways will be manna from Heaven. The nearby breezy coast is also great for kite-surfing and sailing, and kids will love spotting seals off the rocky shoreline. Golf is big here, too, with a fine selection of courses, and wildlife is abundant in the marshes and fenlands. For a spot of culture on your Lincoln holidays, try the city's Theatre Royal or the Engine Shed, venue for gigs of all shapes and sizes.
