Uphill Lincoln: Cobbled Streets, Medieval Buildings and Quaint Houses

By 6 Comments

Uphill Lincoln is brimming with history and plenty of attractive houses and buildings. This part of the city is where the cathedral and castle can be found, but these are not the only sights worth seeing. The area generally has character and charm with quaint cottages, nostalgic shop fronts, cobbled streets and Victorian-style streetlamps. Here are some images to paint a picture of what you could expect to see…

    I love the gate. And the ice cream. These pictures somehow typify what I think of as English. Maybe the cloudy sky.
