Things To Do Lincolnshire has a wealth of different attractions to interest a wide range of visitors, whether young or old. Whilst there are wonderful opportunities for lively pursuits such as climbing, canoeing, quad-biking, cycling, paint-balling you can soak up some history at a slower pace. Notable places to visit include: Lincoln Castle Originally built by William the Conqueror in the 11th century, Lincoln Castle is one of the finest remaining Norman Castles in the country. It houses one of only four remaining original copies of the Magna Carta and has been used as a castle, a prison and a court for over 900 years. The still operational Crown Court and the only Victorian prison chapel of its kind, provides a haunting reminder of its past. During the summer months, the Castle holds numerous events including Medieval jousting, historical re-enactments, children's fun days, open-air theatre and concerts.
