    I grew up in Lincolnshire before moving to Essex for work 30 years ago. Ive always said Lincoln is the greatest 'undiscovered' city in the UK and I never could understand why. Havent been there now for probably 20 years and your video has made me decide to plan anotger visit. Awesome city, well done for capturing its splendour and charm.

      We’d totally agree with you there. We love a visit to Lincoln, it’s a great city to just walk around…. Until you get to Steep Hill that is 😂

    I lived in Lincoln for 3 years in my 20s with my husband ...we loved it. I remember one time i was pushing my toddler up steep hill in the snow and ice, ill never forget it , the snow was thick and stopping the wheels from turning. Those were the days 😊

      @JJExtra  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Oh wow, can’t imagine having to tackle that hill in the snow and ice let alone pushing a pushchair at the same time! We know where we’d end up and it wouldn’t be the top 😂

      @@JJExtra if you travel down the A15 you will come across RAF Waddington's viewing area (where the Red Arrows are based) another must visit place would be Tattershall Castle which is a good place to view RAF Conningsby, perhaps I should be a tour guide of Lincolnshire, lol, ps don't for get St.Botolph's Church, Boston where the Pilgrim Fathers left from all those years ago

    I have enjoyed visiting Lincoln when I was young and fit enough for the hills. Note: the county is almost legendary in its flatness, but the city makes up for it.
    Keep Boldly Going Guys.

    I studied in Lincoln and mostly I enjoyed the evening ghost walk and the inside view of the cathedral.
    Went there by motorcycle. Quite sorry my time there was too short to adventure more. Friendly people, nice pubs. Still have a picture of the cathedral by night. Fond memories there

      Tom Hanks da Vinci Code was filmed in Lincoln. One ghost walk story was of a body guard who fell face forward, something got hold of both of his ankles...
      GB has so many wonderful places to visit:
      Coventry, Exeter, Leicester... Unfortunately, I need an ETA for my next visit. Until then, I put your vlogs on rerun.

    Lived in Lincoln years now and the cathedral is probably the most stunning feature of Lincoln. You can get in for free some days although i dont think they post about it on any media or anything its just a case of turning up and walking round. The stained glass they have is great and a unique feature and as well as the area for quire singers and organ make it feel amazing and strange as you walk around and see all the gravestones, stained glass and separate worshiping areas. You can see it for miles as well, pretty much anywhere in the city minus a few minute walk to get buildings out the way.

    Always thought Motherby hill was worse than steep hill, if you plan to visit again Liquorice Park is a nice place, a communal Orchard and park, the viewing platform at the top also giving a fantastic view, August to mid-late September there should be fruit on the trees to pick and enjoy

    Gorgeous video! You guys are charming, interesting and hilarious. I had a right old laugh at the £2.95 bakes! At first I thought it was JUST the scone (which is also cheap in London terms) but for both!? Bloody hell. Crazy what we're used to paying in London. I absolutely loved this and you made me want to visit Lincoln now!

    Lincoln person here, Lincoln is hardly THE prettiest city. There’s plenty of others - York, Winchester, Norwich… that could easily rival it.
    It’s beautiful, absolutely is. But it’s not number one in my opinion. As soon as you venture out of the uphill areas and walk down Steep Hill -> The Strait -> and finally, the high street beyond the Stonebow, it begins to get uglier… and uglier… and uglier until it appears as characterless as any other town or city.
    It’s a nice city though for sure and has a lot to offer tourists!
