Harlaxton Manor

Few wedding venues in the world can match the breath-taking approach to Harlaxton – a straight, mile-long drive across an ornate lakeside bridge, under a gatehouse to the towering, fairytale façade that is Harlaxton Manor. It floats like a vision at the end of its avenue, set amongst 300 acres of formal gardens and mature woodland. This iconic Manor House offers unparalleled views over the Vale of Belvoir in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Charmingly English, the Manor is the perfect venue for a truly romantic wedding. We can cater for a wide range of weddings – from an intimate civil ceremony and reception for 30 guests to a large evening celebration for 350 in our magnificent State Rooms. We offer the very highest levels of professional service and, because we only operate on an exclusive-use basis, you will feel very much at home in these beautiful surroundings. Harlaxton Manor is owned and operated by Harlaxton College.

We've just enjoyed lunch at Unique Cafe - delicious fresh paninis and strong English tea, with individual tea pots for each of us. The 90 minute allocated slot was ideal. The excellent Covid regulations in place made us feel completely at our ease - will definitely return next week. Well done to Fern and her team. Kind regards Theresa

Lincoln Guildhall

The Guildhall is the "official home" of the Mayor and occupies the whole of the second floor of the Stonebow. Access to this historic building is via the large double oak doors on the East Wing of the building on Saltergate and is of 15th and 16th century. On a visit you can walk through the Council Chamber, sit in the Mayor's chair and hear some of the tales of years gone by. The tour includes the old debtors prison which now houses some of the finest regalia in England beneath. Whilst in the Civic Insignia room, view the Royal Sword given to the City by Richard II, and the Mayor's Mace dated 1660, originally a defensive fighting weapon, but now carried before the Mayor on ceremonial occasions. See several chains of office, as well as the unique Mayor's posy ring which is only worn on two occasions: when being married to the City at the Annual Meeting and on the Mayor's "official" birthday a custom dating back to 1852. Read the many Royal Charters, the oldest granted by King Henry II (circa 1157) and the latest given in 1974 by Queen Elizabeth II. Also, the Guildhall's impressive Council Chamber is still used today for Full Council meetings. The Guildhall allows you to step back in time and view it's unique and historic building, as well as many significant items on display.

Very engaging and informative guided tour of Lincoln's Guildhall, including it's hidden treasures. The guide, Richard, has a remarkable breadth of knowledge about the history of Lincoln and it's governance through the ages. Well worth a visit.

International Bomber Command Centre

The award winning IBCC opened to the public for the first time on the 30th January 2018. The site includes the one of the UK's tallest War Memorials, The Spire, which stands out on Lincoln's skyline at 31.09m tall, the same height as the wingspan of a Lancaster Bomber. The Spire is surrounded by curved walls which carry the names of 57,871 men and women who gave their lives whilst in the service of Bomber Command during WW2. The Spire is set in 10 acres of landscaped peace gardens, one which represents Lincolnshire's contribution to the war and one that recognizes the involvement of 62 nations in Bomber Command. The Chadwick Centre provides all our visitor facilities and hosts three exhibition galleries covering our core themes of Recognition, Remembrance and Reconciliation. There is also an education suite and facilities for corporate hospitality. Children's trails and craft sessions available. The site is free to visit but tickets are needed to gain access to the Exhibition.

Easton Labyrinth and Peace Garden

An innovative place of peace, contemplation and reflection for everyone. Situated within the conserved churchyard of the beautiful historic church of All Saints, Easton on the Hill, and just off the Jurassic Way, it is a free and fascinating destination, along with the nearby Priests House. Come and walk the labyrinth in peace.

Woolsthorpe Manor

Reviewed By pjags - Darlington, United Kingdom

We visited the house and orchard as we were traveling nearby. You do get a sense of wonder as this is the home where Issac Newton spent much of his time experimenting his theories. Although it is a small property there are enough objects to see as well as being able to experience how it would have been at the time he lived there. Staff are excellent small coffee shop with limited parking you will need to book a time slot.

Moulton Windmill

Reviewed By UniXplorer - Moulton, United Kingdom

Im local to Moulton have been for 18 years and pending. What can i say. This place is a very welcoming village. I always enjoy walking past on a nice sunny day with blue skies. There is a nice cafe inside post covid restrictions and they have been producing their own flour which they supply the local shop with. I have been to the top many years ago and the views are incredible. I remember seeing Boston stump! Im not sure if its still running these.

Cogglesford Mill

Cogglesford Watermill, dating back to Saxon times, is thought to be the only Sherriff's watermill still in operation in England. The Mill lies in a picturesque setting on the River Slea in the historic market town of Sleaford, Lincolnshire, close to the town centre and all its amenities. Although the present Mill was mainly built in the early 18th Century, millers have produced flour on this site for over 1,000 years. This award winning, three storey building has a low breast shot water wheel and two sets of millstones. You can watch the Mill in operation on special event days, producing stone ground flour as it would have been 200 years ago. Video footage of the milling process can be seen when the Mill is not in operation. Discover the fascinating characters and events that shaped its history from its Anglo Saxon origins to the present day. Please note this is not the TripAdvisor Page for the restaurant which is located next to the mill.

A tiny museum but with a wealth of knowledge from the volunteers - would have loved to have gone on a day when milling was taking place. Word of warning - the steps up to the two levels are very steep and uneven but worth the effort, also have to watch out for very low ceilings! Bought milled flour and plum loaf - would buy my bread flour from them all the time if I could but I'm not local - will have to stock up next time I'm in the area!
