Lincoln crowns one of England's most dramatic ridgelines, its cathedral spires visible for miles across the flat Lincolnshire countryside. The Romans established Lindum Colonia here two millennia ago, and medieval merchants later transformed the settlement into a prosperous wool trading centre. Today this compact city, 40 miles northeast of Nottingham, draws visitors to its steep cobbled lanes, ancient castle walls, and one of Europe's finest Gothic cathedrals.
Address: Lincoln, Lincolnshire, LN1 1AA, United Kingdom.

Discover Lincoln
Setting
Lincoln occupies a limestone ridge overlooking the Witham Gap, positioned roughly 40 miles northeast of Nottingham at coordinates 53.2299° N, 0.5377° W.
The A46 links the city to Newark and Leicester, while the A15 stretches north toward the Humber. Rail services from Lincoln Central connect passengers to Nottingham, Sheffield, and beyond via the East Midlands network.
The Past
Lincoln began as the Roman fortress Lindum Colonia, one of four coloniae in Roman Britain. The Norman conquest brought the castle and eventually the cathedral, which briefly held the title of world's tallest building. Wealth from the medieval wool trade funded the grand architecture still visible in the uphill quarter.
Contemporary Lincoln balances heritage preservation with a thriving university community that energises the lower city around Brayford Pool.
Connections
Lincoln Central station provides hourly departures toward Nottingham and regular services to Sheffield, Newark, and Peterborough. The A46 bypass allows drivers to skirt the city when heading south or west, while the A15 serves routes into the Lincolnshire Wolds and Humberside.
Our taxi fleet fills the gaps public transport leaves, offering direct door-to-door travel to airports, neighbouring towns, and rural destinations across the county.
Sights & Activities
Lincoln rewards exploration with its soaring cathedral, Norman castle housing one of four surviving Magna Carta copies, and the characterful independent shops lining Steep Hill. The waterfront at Brayford has transformed into a leisure hub with restaurants and bars overlooking the marina.
Regular farmers' markets and seasonal festivals maintain a lively calendar throughout the year.
Parking Options
Several multi-storey facilities serve the city centre, with surface parking available near Brayford Waterfront. The uphill historic quarter has limited spaces, and restrictions apply on market days and during special events.
A taxi removes parking worries altogether, depositing you precisely where you need to be without the hunt for a space or the walk back to a distant car park.
