This second hand bookshop can be found half way up Steep Hill in the heart of Lincoln. Like any good second hand bookshop, it is a warren of little corridors and dinky recesses. The atmosphere is calm and unhurried, and it's easy to lose track of time as you search through the shelves for new (old) books to buy. Well worth the trek up the hill to get to it!

Going on a guided ghost walk around the pretty and historical city of Lincoln is a great way to spend an evening - especially on a cold, dark night as it just adds to the atmosphere! You get taken around the uphill area of the city, past the cathedral and castle too, being told tales of the many ghosts that haunt the nearby buildings. Ideal for adults and children alike!

Lincoln is such as magical city and at Christmas time even more so. The 'uphill area' with the Cathedral and castle domintating the skyline makes for the BEST backdrop to one of Eurpoes largest Christmas markets. You can also ice skate by the river, find fantastic Christmas gifs in the independant boutiques and enjoy seriously good food and drink. Loads of lovey B&Bs and stylish self catering places to stay if you can make a break of it. The perfect city for a winter break!

Lincoln station is served by regular trains, travellers from London may change at Newark.

Can you find Christmas and indeed the Christmas spirit in a medieval town on a hill in the otherwise flat Lincolnshire? Yep! It's amazing

The Lincoln christmas market is set around the historic cathedral and castle area. Follow cobbled streets to pick up local sweet treats and listen to beautiful carols. I'm from an area close to the Swedish lapland and I ensure you, Lincoln's Christmas market is truly spectacular. No fake ice ala Hyde Park, instead you will find around 300 beautiful traditional and festive stalls - along with a funfair for those who fancy some thrills. I swear the historic location and the beautiful lights on the hill make this market magical. While you're there, pop in to the cathedral and listen to beautiful choir Christmas music. This market is lovely and very atmospheric - but beware, it's on a very steep hill so mobility might be an issue for some.
