Lincoln

A travelling day. We said our goodbyes to Stella and Steve the night before, and set off in the morning heading south to Lincoln where had reserved a place on a site within a country park run by the council - Hartsholme Park - which is close enough to walk or cycle into the city.

The commercial city centre below the medieval quarter straddles the River Witham with a quite interesting waterfront and marina.Read more
