Well today finds us heading to Lincoln, first stop is Kings Lynn a small village at the mouth of the Ouse river, the town has a nice church and the river is very wide and largely tidal. After a quick look around it is off on the road to Lincoln, Lincoln has the 3rd largest cathedral in the country and it doesn't disappoint it has towers climbing to 252 feet and it use to have a wooden spire topping out at over 500 feet, this made it the tallest building in Britain until 1965.
Lincoln also has a nice mot and bailey castle and the guided tour was very well conducted. The hotel that we stayed in was directly across from the castle and very close to the cathedral as well, this made for an easy walk. Tomorrow finds us heading for York.
