Built by William the Conqueror in 1068, Lincoln Castle has dominated the Lincoln skyline for almost one thousand years. Following the Battle of Hastings in 1066, William the Conqueror ordered the construction of a castle at Lincoln in a bid to control the rebellious north. Centuries earlier, the Romans had built their legionary fortress in the same place. The Normans constructed their motte and bailey castle here, re-using the remaining stone walls of the original Roman city. Lincoln Castle has stood for hundreds of years as a symbol of power and seat of justice. Visit today and you can scale the heights of the Medieval Wall Walk, follow in the footsteps of prisoners in the Victorian Prison, and immerse yourself in the Magna Carta story. David PJ Ross Magna Carta Vault Lincoln Castle is the only place in the world where an original 1215 Magna Carta and 1217 Charter of the Forest can be seen side by side, on permanent loan from Lincoln Cathedral. Magna Carta, meaning ‘The Great Charter’, is one of the most famous documents in the world and is often regarded as the foundation of democracy in England. Both documents are on display in the state-of-the-art, subterranean David P J Ross Magna Carta Vault at Lincoln Castle. Head underground to view the documents, read the words in English and learn about their history and significance in a 210° cinema room. Please note: at certain times during the year the documents will be at rest and unavailable. Check the Lincoln Castle website for details of which documents are on display or call 01522 554559 for details. The Medieval Wall Walk The great stone curtain wall is one of the most dramatic features of Lincoln Castle, and a permanent reminder of its role as a mighty medieval stronghold. The Medieval Wall Walk is around a third of a mile long, and offers the most incredible views across both Lincoln and the surrounding county. There is no finer view of Lincoln Cathedral than that from the castle's east wall battlements, which overlook the Cathedral’s majestic West Front and soaring spires. As you walk around the circumference of the castle, you’ll be following in the footsteps of kings, soldiers and prisoners from hundreds of years ago. From King Henry VIII, who visited with Catherine Howard in 1541, to Henry Carey, convicted of murder and sentenced to death by hanging in 1859, the castle walls are steeped in stories. Explore the dungeons, towers and graveyards along the way and you’ll discover even more about the castle’s colourful past. The site of many battles, sieges and public hangings, there is more to Lincoln Castle than first meets the eye: Take in the tranquillity of Lucy Tower:This structure dates back to medieval times, but later became a burial ground for unfortunate prisoners hanged at the castle.

A different version is available for adults and children; the adult guide is available in English, French, and German. Victorian Prison Visit the Victorian Prison at Lincoln Castle for an insight into crime and punishment in Lincoln. Built in 1788, this impressive building was used as a debtor's prison until 1878. The prison adopted the 'separate system', keeping prisoners isolated to encourage them to reflect, repent and reform. Visit today and you can see the single cells and the unique separate system chapel - the only original of its kind left in the world. The Victorian Prison has three floors of restored prison cells, including a male and female wing. As you explore, you will find plenty of opportunities to learn more about the justice system of Victorian England. There are interactive touch-screen tables where you can watch videos and hear stories from the past occupants of these spooky cells. Castle Grounds The grounds at Lincoln Castle are free to enter and explore during non-event days. The perfect spot for a coffee on a sunny day, or a family picnic in a unique location. As you wander through the grounds, look out for the Castle Stories plaques on the floor. Dotted throughout the site, these tell the stories of the people who have visited or even resided in the castle over the years.

Lasting between forty-five minutes to an hour, these fascinating tours offer an introduction to this historic site, as well as a deeper understanding of the castle's colourful history. Archaeology Exhibition During Lincoln Castle's 2013 excavations and restoration, Archaeologists found an ancient, Anglo-Scandinavian church 3m below the ground. Objects found during the dig are on display in the Castle featuring a stone sarcophagus containing the body of a high-status individual - identified by the shoes worn at the point of burial. The church and the ten skeletons found at the burial site are bought to life in an exhibition showing finds, including the skeletons and other objects found dating back to Roman, Medieval, Georgian and Victorian times. Dog-Friendly Days at Lincoln Castle If you have a four-legged friend that enjoys exploring just as much as you do, you can visit Lincoln Castle together on dog-friendly weekends. From the banks of the Norman Motte to the dark prison cells, your dog can follow you on a journey back through history, exploring the Medieval Wall Walk, Victorian Prison and the Magna Carta. Accessibility Although Lincoln Castle is a historical monument, a huge effort has been made to ensure as much of it as possible is accessible to as many visitors as possible. The majority of the grounds of the castle are flat and accessible. The Medieval Wall Walk has a lift to the east section, which is flat and has stunning views of Lincoln Cathedral. An audio guide is available for the Medieval Wall Walk, and a transcript of the full script is available for visitors with hearing impairments. Some parts of the Victorian Prison have very narrow walkways and doors, making access difficult for wheelchair users, although there are lifts to all three floors of the prison and a viewing platform for the chapel. Transcripts of the Victorian Prison films are available. There is a lift to the David PJ Ross Magna Carta Vault, which is fully accessible. In addition, full transcripts of the Magna Carta films are available. Admission is free for carers of visitors with disabilities - please note that you may be requested to provide proof of eligibility upon entry. The castle has two wheelchairs for hire. Assistance dogs are welcome.

Quand la « belle de jour » se dévoile sous l'objectif des plus grands.
Now I have to 'fess up to having driven past this place dozens of times, dashing back and forth from the Dublin ferry, without ever stopping to have a proper look. I've gasped and sighed over other medieval citadels here and there and further afield, but I've never given Caernarfon a second thought. I'm a numpty! And that's official. Just stop and take a look at what I've been missing. Isn't it magnificent? Caernarfon Castle, Caernarfon, Wales Built between 1283 and 1330, the present castle is largely the handiwork of Edward I and his master mason, James of Saint George, the talented double act who've given me other marvellous stopping-off points at Beaumaris and Conwy to cool my heels at whilst I'm waiting for the Dublin Swift. But it's here at Caernarfon that they've truly excelled themselves. Everything about this castle (expect for its no-dogs entrance policy - grrrrr) is perfect. Common-or-garden castles have round towers. Here at Caernarfon every last tower is a perfect polygon. James of Saint George is believed to have modelled it on the mighty walls of Constantinople. Caernarfon Castle, Caernarfon, Wales The castle protects a sweet little harbour with a swing bridge that people can walk across when there are no boats passing. Caernarfon Castle, Caernarfon, Wales It's a truly timeless place. The Romans had a fort here, and after them the Normans built one of their motte and bailey castles. You get a sense of the centuries of history and mystery and magic oozing out of the ancient stones as you walk around. Caernarfon Harbour, Caernarfon, Wales And talking of magic, there's a lovely legend, the historical authenticity of which the historians have been arguing over since forever ... Once upon a very long time ago there was a swaggering Roman Emperor called Magnus Maximus, who was secretly a bit of a romantic at heart. One moonless night in Rome he fell into a deep, deep sleep. It had been a tough day: he'd been emperoring and politicking and putting down insurrections and doing the hundred other things that a busy Roman emperor did back then. In the black of the night, at the darkest hour before dawn, Magnus Maximus dreamt the most amazing dream. Caernarfon Harbour, Caernarfon, Wales He dreamt of a far-away land, where the most beautiful woman he had never seen was living in the most perfect castle he had never beheld. Waking up, he cursed his misfortune at having woken up to a life that did not include this perfect lady. He shut his eyelids firmly against the bright morning light, and refused to stir, hoping desperately that he might nod off again and travel back to the enchanted world of his dream. Sadly for Magnus Maximus, he couldn't make Rome disappear. Each time he opened his eyes, he was still there in his grand imperial villa with his house slaves standing by, ready to prepare his bath and dress him for the day that lay ahead. Caernarfon Harbour, Caernarfon, Wales Magnus Maximus mooned around for a few days, depressed that he hadn't been able to return to the land of his dream. He moaned to his mum, the dowager empress. She pointed out that he owned an empire, and that there must be a beautiful woman living in a perfect castle somewhere out there in all the vast territories that he controlled that he could fall in love with. Unpersuaded, but all out of ideas, he sent out emissaries to seek the lady of his dream. How they must have puzzled over his instructions to find a perfect castle sitting in a sheltered bay with the most beautiful lady, graceful as a fawn, with hair the colour of moonbeams and skin as white as snow inside. But it didn't do to go asking the Emperor too many questions, so they dispersed to the lands of the North, the South, the East and the West. Droves of them rode off on horseback to try and find the Emperor's dream lady. St. Mary's Church, Caernarfon, Wales built into the old town walls by the postern gate Days, weeks and months passed; and Maximus heard nothing of his emissaries. He grew gloomier and grumpier. His mother and the people of Rome despaired of their Emperor ever cheering up again. Then finally, one dark night at the end of winter, two of the twenty emissaries who had set off to explore the lands of the West, returned bearing news of how they'd found the castle and the lady of the Emperor's dream in far-off Britannia. Magnus Maximus didn't miss a beat. Within hours he'd appointed a Consul to govern the Empire in his absence, and he was riding off at a gallop towards the western edge of the Roman world. St. Mary's Church, Caernarfon, Wales : built in 1307 to minister to the castle garrison It was a long and arduous journey, up through the lands of the warring Gauls, but at length the Emperor and his entourage arrived at the gates of Segontium, as the Romans called Caernarfon. And there, standing on the battlement, was Elen, the beautiful lady the Emperor had met in his dream. He was ecstatic, and immediately asked for her hand in marriage. As he got to know his new wife Magnus Maximus realised that she was as fine and worthy as she was beautiful. He awarded her father, Eudaf Hen, sovereignty over all the island of Britain and ordered three castles built in his new wife's honour. St. Mary's Church, Caernarfon, Wales Sometime later news reached Magnus Maximus that a usurper had taken his place in Rome. Furious at the impertinence of this upstart, Maximus marched back across Gaul and Italy to re-take his empire with the help of Elen's brother, Conanus, and his band of Welsh warriors. They fought bravely, shoulder to shoulder, Welshman and Roman, until they triumphed and Maximus was restored to his rightful place. In recognition of the Welshmen's valour and loyalty, Maximus granted them lands in Gaul, which thereafter came to be known as Brittany. Caernarfon Castle, Caernarfon, Wales Back in Wales, Elen, is still remembered as Elen of Caernarfon or Saint Elen of the Hosts, because of how she encouraged Maximus to build roads across her country so that soldiers could more easily be deployed to protect its borders from attack. Caernarfon Castle, Caernarfon, Wales All the best for now, Bonny x
