Walking around Lincoln Castle Walls

Hello. Some correct guesses on the previous post, yes, I went to Lincoln yesterday. It's less than an hour's drive, I took a packup lunch, and enjoyed a day out in the sunshine. I hate driving in a city or town so I park on the outskirts in a road with no restrictions, and walk in. Coming in on the A15 from the north, the road is wide with some parking on both sides. I think possibly some of the workers use this to park all day, or people like me who don't want to pay in a car park. Sometimes it's difficult to find a space.

Yes, the selfie was taken walking around the castle wall, up in the tower. It was a bit windy and the sun was in my eyes. This post is all the photo's I took from that walk. The charge for OAP's is £4. There is an audio guide but I didn't take that. The views were fantastic. Of course there are several shots of the splendid cathedral. 

There had been an event on and a few contractors were still about removing some of the equipment. The patches on the lawn are where the marquees would have been.

The front view of the prison, not very clear the sun is in the way.

There is a view of The Westgate Water Tower, there's a plaque on the castle wall with information. If you want to know more, this is a good site.

Wow, that's a good view.

The brown rusty steel tower down there is the lift up onto the wall for people who can't manage a spiral staircase.

I must say the walkway is very well built. My only gripe is that some of the views on one side are obscured by frosted glass which has been fixed to the wall. I imagine that's to preserve people's privacy who live in the houses directly below. 

That's the courtroom.

A view I took from the ground earlier.

The back view of the prison. It's open to visitors but me being a tightwad, I didn't bother. Besides it was 4pm when I did this walk, and they close at 5pm.

The prison again.

I think I've got these in the wrong order, never mind. That's what happens when I do two jobs at the same time. If you want to know more about Lincoln Castle, please go to the web site. I'll post some more pics of Lincoln tomorrow.

Thanks for popping in we'll catch up soon.
