Lincoln City was not in our planned itinerary, it was another impromptu visit in England. \u00a0After our first discovery in Jedburgh in Scotland, we believe UK has so much treasure hidden in every corner which await us to explore.<\/p>\n

\"Lincoln<\/a><\/p>\n

This is a small town which is about 150 miles north of London, a Cathedral City. Once you arrived in Lincoln, you will seen a very tall Cathedral located at the hilltop which can be seen from miles away.<\/p>\n

\"Bailgate<\/a><\/p>\n

We had our coffee break at this historical old town before visiting the iconic landmark, the Lincoln Cathedral. \u00a0The town is very well maintained with old medieval building with specialist shops including boutiques, crafts, book and gift shops, not to mention tea rooms and restaurants that line the cobbled streets.<\/p>\n

Lincoln Cathedral<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Lincoln<\/a><\/p>\n

Lincoln Cathedral is also known as the Cathedral Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Lincoln was the tallest building in the world from 1311-1549 for 238 years, until its tallest spire collapsed in 1548.\u00a0This Cathedral is the third largest in Britain after St Paul and York Minster.<\/p>\n

I love exploring countryside as you get the peace and mostly importantly my picture will not be disturbed or photo bomb from other tourists. \u00a0The Cathedral is really huge and you would wonder why they built such a huge Cathedral in this small town?<\/p>\n

\"Lincoln<\/a><\/p>\n

It was a windy morning while I explore this magnificent architecture. \u00a0Plenty of photo opportunities from all angles. \u00a0Unlike the big city, London, I could have all the space I wanted and embraced every minutes of calmness and serenity at this place.<\/p>\n
