Lincoln and the Lincolnshire Wolds
The booking deadline is fast approaching.
If you would like to join us please book by 31 December 2024.
All details for making your reservation are below. Thank you.
Join us between Thursday 27 February and Monday 3 March 2025 in this historic city. With the Cathedral and The Castle on the doorstep of The Lincoln Hotel, you will be able to explore on foot at leisure; take a FREE (with a Bus Pass) ride into the city centre; visit the Museum of Lincolnshire Life and challenge yourself to walk up Steep Hill - going down isn’t exactly easy either ! There is a good choice of coffee shops as well.
Many historic houses are within driving distance, together with WW2 museums linked to ‘Bomber County’. You might even like to venture to the east coast for an ice cream on the Prom – Skegness is one and a half hours away.
An organised coach trip on the Saturday will take us through the Lincolnshire Wolds, over the Humber Bridge for lunch in Beverley. We will return to the hotel via the Yorkshire Wolds, briefly stopping for a cup of tea at the largest antiques centre in Europe https://www.hemswell-antiques.com/
and back to the hotel in time to relax before dinner.
