- LINCOLN | A look around Lincoln City Centre (including Castle and Cathedral tour)
We take a walk around the city centre and look inside Lincoln Cathedral and Lincoln Castle
Also watch our tour of Sheffield - • SHEFFIELD CITY CENTRE ...
Lincoln is a city in Lincolnshire in the East Midlands part of England. It's famous for it's cathedral, it's castle and it's historic city streets with medieval buildings and fantastic shops.
Gimbal Walk TV takes a look around the city centre to see the things to do in Lincoln and to take a look at the things to see in Lincoln to see what it's like here and what is has to offer tourists and visitors coming to visit the tourist attractions and to do some shopping in the little independent shops here.
Our LIncoln tour begins at Newport Arch on Newport.
Newport Arch is a 3rd-century Roman gate in the city of Lincoln, Lincolnshire. It is a Scheduled monument and Grade I listed building and is reputedly the oldest arch in the United Kingdom still used by traffic.
We then proceed along Bailgate. Early each December the Bailgate area holds a Christmas Market in and around the Castle grounds, shaped by the traditional German-style Christmas markets
Our LIncoln walk then brings us to St Mary Magdalene, Bailgate, a Grade II listed parish church in Lincoln, England. It is dedicated to Jesus' companion, Mary Magdalene.
From there we head through Exchequer Gate, three splendid arched walkways located at the cathedral end of Castle Hill. The gate was constructed during the 14th century and it is here that local tenants came to pay rent to the church.
Then we reach Minster Yard and the star of the show, Lincoln Cathedral. It's a medieval cathedral, once the tallest building in the world, with tours and a Wren-designed library.
Lincoln Cathedral, Lincoln Minster, or the Cathedral Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Lincoln and sometimes St Mary's Cathedral, in Lincoln, England, is a Grade I listed cathedral and is the seat of the Anglican Bishop of Lincoln. Construction commenced in 1072 and continued in several phases throughout the High Middle Ages. Like many of the medieval cathedrals of England it was built in the Early Gothic style.
The cathedral is the fourth largest in the UK (in floor area) at around 5,000 square metres (54,000 sq ft), after Liverpool, St Paul's and York Minster.
Next up we visit Lincoln Castle, a historic ruined Norman fortress later used as a prison, with exhibits & guided tours. Built by William the Conqueror in 1068 on a site occupied since Roman times, Lincoln Castle has dominated the Lincoln skyline for almost one thousand years. Within the Castle Walls is a Victorian prison giving an insight into crime and punishment in the Lincoln of the past.
We end our LIncoln walking tour at Steep Hill, a steep, cobbled street, lined with independent shops, tea rooms and restaurants that leads to and from Lincoln Cathedral, Lincoln Castle and the Cathedral Quarter.
Steep Hill in Lincoln is England’s Fourth Steepest Street
Steep Hill first became used by the residents of Lincoln when the city was called Lindum Colonia and the Roman inhabitants decided to expand the settlement down the hill. Excavations has shown that the hill used to be lined by steps during that time.
Today, Steep Hill is famous for its independent businesses - vintage boutiques, quaint tea rooms, chocolate & fudge parlours, and more. The steep, cobbled street, with a 16.12º gradient, was voted Britain's Great Street in 2012 by the Academy of Urbanism and named the fourth steepest street in England by the Ordnance Survey.

It’s amazing that a guitarist follows you around playing the whole time you are walking.
🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for taking me on this amazing walk. The cathedral was awesome and the castle looked so peaceful loved the dragon. Keep on walking 🚶🏻👍❤️
Thank you 👍
Well i must have missed the dragon !
@@maureenleigh4724 Was in the Castle - popping out of the walls!
Great coverage. Thanks for taking the time to post
Thanks so much ❤️❤️
I was born in Lincoln and shared a flat at the top of lindum hill with a view out of the kitchen window at night it really was beautifully illuminated.
Bet that was fantastic 👍👍👍
@@GimbalWalkTV yes, I shared the flat that's on top of lindum hill 1975/6 the rent was 33 quid a month 'tween me and my buddy great Guinness in the pub nearly opposite, of which the name escapes me, annoying that. Distance from the cathedral? not much more than a stone throw really. Don't know if you know Lincoln but the whole of Lincs is flat as a pancake, quite boring really,but the City is well worth a look.
Thanks for such a great vlog, it brought back great memories of my recent visit there and I’m hoping to return one day. You do a fabulous job at capturing the places you visit 🙌🏻
Thank you so much Linda
I've never been to Lincoln and I'm loving the tour of the cathedral and city. Fantastic. I love the posts. Keep up the great work. ❤️👍
Thank you so much Chris
Come over to Shropshire one day. Lots here. Ludlow, Shrewsbury, Bridgnorth, Ironbridge.
Thank you Neil for another great video. You show us some amazing places. Not been there for years. Modern places can not compare. Hope you found Rebecca, or she found you before you left that beautiful building. Not been to the castle. Does that dragon have a name? Thanks again for showing us around such amazing places. Please keep walking.👍👍💯
Dragon's name is Lucy...
Dragon's called Lucy I think! Thanks for watching Sandra! Rebecca says hello!
Beautiful video I love Lincoln, the cathedral is beautiful, also I love the Christmas Market Xxx 💕
I'll be filming that this year too so watch this space!
Great to see my home town in such detail so many years.after leaving in 1967. Many happy early life memories, Keep up the good work. From a Pom in Melbourne Australia.
How impressive Cathedral was I never realised it that big always done shopping there so to see it made a nice change.👍
Yeah it's huge! easy to get lost in there!
My home city. I have many happy memories of catering college and going for a night out. It's a wonderful place to live
One of my favourite cities to visit in the United Kingdom, I remember in secondary school we were taken to Lincoln for the day , and the joke was standing out the Magna Carta Pub
Great place for a school trip!
I’m Lincoln born and bred and very proud of our beautiful castle and cathedral. Next time you’ll have to do the wall walk at the castle, you’ll get amazing views of the Cathedral and across the city. Thanks for another great video 😊
Yes I haven't done that wall walk yet but would love to - definitely on the next visit!
I lived in Lincoln, left under difficult times, always regretted it .. I love Lincoln
Lovely video of a beautiful City. The Cathedral has some great gargoyles on the outside, some are new ones recently carved-they are terrific.
Thank you - I'll definitely be looking out for those on my next trip!
Hi Neil thanks for your fantastic vidio you always take me to some amazing places they are all very exciting and interesting take care stay safe from Lynn x
So nice of you Lynn thank you!
Thanks for the lovely walk around this beautiful city. 😁
My pleasure 😊
I came here during covid times. Fanastic place. Thanks neil for your more depth look into this great city 👍 😀
Thanks Mike - keep going with your channel too - I learn a bit from yours about where to go next (watched the south shields one this morning)
Hey Neil did you have a great weekend mate .... Great walk this looks wonderful there 💯😊
Thanks mate!
This is somewhere I'd like to visit!
Great isnt' it!
Outstanding haven’t visited for 20 years cathedral’s something else. Great camera work
Thank you so much Ray!
39:30 Roly's Fudge, can't recommend them highly enough.
If you're in the area, the vanilla-clotted cream fudge is *to die for.* 👌
Ah you missed graduation ceremony then when the procession leads from the Castle to the Cathedral and then back XD Beautiful City, very relaxed compared to others. Well worth a visit. Be sure to get a look over the City from the castle walls, really impressive view on a clear day. Surprised you didn't go up on the Castle Walls
Didnt' have time sadly
Thanks
Thank you so much!! Just woke up to your kind donation and it's set me up for the day!
I'll put it towards petrol to the next destination! 👍🏻
Have a TOP week
It's hard to believe it's a city, it's almost more market townish, would love to visit, I believe they have a famous Christmas market😃👍
Yes, true!
This tour is the old part of the city on the hill, go down the hill and you find the modern city!
Yes the market is very good at Christmas
A city status is given to places with a Cathedral or sometimes population size. Lincoln is around the 78th largest place in the UK.
Not any more.
Questi video sono bellissimi
❤️
When I lived at Rippinggale in the 1970's the local church took us to the Cathedral and its a huge and stunning building.
Live in Halifax Yorkshire now.
Where do you prefer? Halifax or Lincoln? .. I know Halifax has some lovely places and people
@@hln1969 Well I was born in Halifax and my dad moved because he got work down there.
We moved back because my mom missed her mom.
I love Lincoln its far more nicer than Halifax.
@@darrenhirst9900 thank you for such a quick reply Darren. I'm considering moving to Lincoln from Rotherham (yeah, nothing here haha...much prefer Halifax). I think I'll make a trip soon to Lincoln, thanks again Helen 👍
@@hln1969 I just loved it the people the places and its flat.
Halifax is alright in its own way and the people are decent.
You're welcome and have a great weekend Helen.
@@darrenhirst9900 sounds like just what I need. Thank you, have a brill weekend too
I worked in Lincoln for years up until 2002 it looks very quiet from what I remember.
Yes thats' what I thought too - couldn't understand why it was so quiet
It was blisteringly hot here that weekend and I suspect most folks stayed at home. If you came on a 'normal' Saturday in the summer you'd probably find it a lot busier than you remembered. The Uni' has really built up and brought a big influx of people from outside of Lincoln - at least our gene pool is getting healthier!
👍👍
Thanks theo!
@@GimbalWalkTV Welcome
NIce
Very nice
You missed out the Angel choir at the back, you could have put 20p in the box to light up the Lincoln Imp!
Ah no! Didn't know about that!
I got fully lost in there it's massive!
38:00 - This guy.. 😂
Lovely video. Are both the cathedral and the castle free?
No you have to pay to enter.
A stunningly beautiful English city with a long history. Unfortunately,on the tourist trail, it always plays second fiddle to York. Time for a reassessment ?
Oh yes
Bit different from the Christmas Market one
Oh yes!
I try not to remember that Christmas market one - that was a day I really didn’t enjoy
🚶🚶🚶👍👍👍🎥🎥
Thank you!
I think Lincoln could be the prettiest town in England.
Agreed!
