Visiting the area, the cathedral was a must visit and not disappointed. So much to see and admire.
The staff offered lots of insights as we walked around.
Didn't use the coffee shop. But it looked nice.

Absolutely beautiful cathedral. The architecture is stunning. Definitely worth a visit. If you get there before 10 it is free to go in which we did. Otherwise it is £11 per adult

It is a fantastic building to explore, and once you pay for admissions, you can visit as often as you like for the year. They do a good selection of tours from ground tours to roof and central tower tours and book on the website. There is a shop and cafe to visit to with the cafe stocking a good selection of drinks and food. Dogs are welcome in the cathedral with the understanding that you will clean up any mess. You can also get a joint ticket with the castle. They also hold events in the cathedral, so best check the website for details

Staying in Lincoln for 2 nights on business. Took a leisurely walk up to the cathedral and wandered around the narrow cobbled streets. Very quaint, lots of history and ideal for a peaceful short break.

It is of course totally spectacular and well-worth a visit. Quick tip: if you enter before 10.00 am they do not charge and you can choose to make a donation instead. This information is not on the website which says the cathedral is open to visitors from 10.00 am. Some on a tight budget may appreciate this opportunity. The normal entrance fee is £11.

What a special place this was to visit. Although I’m no longer religious, it’s hard not to feel closer to divinity inside this church. Our tour guide - wish I recalled his name! - was wonderful and quite funny. As a Mason, it was a little disconcerting to learn that this was the site of a trial of the Knights Templar in 1310, but it’s still good to visit history. The rainy day when we visited added to the ambiance; a very beautiful and impressive structure.

Lincoln Cathedral is a stunning example of medieval architecture and a must-visit destination for anyone interested in history and architecture. Located in the heart of Lincoln, this magnificent cathedral is one of the most impressive examples of Gothic architecture in the world.

As you approach the cathedral, you'll be awed by its towering spires and intricate stonework. The interior is just as impressive, with soaring vaulted ceilings, stained glass windows, and a wealth of decorative features that showcase the incredible skill of the craftsmen who built it.

One of the highlights of a visit to Lincoln Cathedral is the chance to see the iconic Lincoln Imp, a small stone carving that is said to be responsible for all the mischief and mayhem in the cathedral. It's a charming and quirky detail that adds to the overall experience of visiting the cathedral.

The cathedral also boasts a rich history, having been the site of many important events over the centuries, including the coronation of King Henry VI in 1430. There are a number of fascinating exhibits and displays that provide insight into the cathedral's history and the people who have worshipped there over the centuries.

The cathedral is also a functioning place of worship, and visitors are welcome to attend services if they wish. The atmosphere during a service is truly breathtaking, with the soaring music and ethereal surroundings making for a truly spiritual experience.

Overall, I highly recommend a visit to Lincoln Cathedral. Whether you're a history buff, an architecture enthusiast, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of ancient buildings, you'll find something to love at this incredible cathedral.

I first visited Lincoln Cathedral as a boy, and have always found it to be awe-inspiring. Our most recent visit (24/02/23) proved this yet again. It was great to see the west front free from scaffolding after extensive cleaning and repair work, and it now looks fantastic! As for the interior, it is majestic, with stunning architectural detail that is rarely matched these days (not that we don't have some excellent stone masons, just that they are few!). There was an atmosphere of peaceful reverence inside and we had a wonderful time wandering around the various sections. But what impressed me very much this visit was the new visitor's centre, cafe, and gift shop. There's an exhibition room filled with fascinating stuff, as well as a hands-on interactive room that's fun and interesting (for adults as well as kids!). The whole area is well-designed and the staff were exceptionally helpful. Overall, an amazing visit that we thoroughly enjoyed. Most parts are accessible for pushchairs/wheelchairs and there are clean toilets available. We gladly paid the £20.80 entrance fee for a family of four, especially after discovering that it takes around £17000 PER DAY to keep this beautiful building running.
