Always Sunny in Lincoln?

Having visited Lincoln three times this year, I have the impression that it is always warm and sunny there, which probably contributes to how I feel about it as a city. Having said that, Lincoln is so interesting that I'm sure it can be enjoyed on dull weather days.

First of all, at the top of the hill, there is a Norman Castle and a splendid Cathedral to visit. Work your way down the quaint and cobbled Steep Hill to the shopping areas, mainly pedestrianised, and to the canal.

There is some interesting architecture to be admired along the canal path to the east (left, as you come down the hill) so do this first, just for 100 yards or so, then return along the path and continue under the bridges to Brayford Wharf (a couple of minutes) where you can enjoy coffee, lunch or dinner at one of the many restaurants with views of the boats in Brayford Pool.

There is a choice of hotels, including Doubletree and Holiday Inn, if you are staying longer than just a day. If you travel to Lincoln by train, the station is fairly central, at the southern end of the shopping area. Visit Lincoln!
