I also enjoyed it from halfway up, and again from three-quarters of the way up...CarolineLDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00197813252586559665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3287675141745937676.post-82334716589461407562011-05-07T08:25:35.447+01:002011-05-07T08:25:35.447+01:00Ah, Lincoln, the city of my ancestors.

The hill-top setting of the cathedral is stunning, and from the top of the central cathedral tower you can see for miles - medieval monastic sites ranged in line to the south, power station cooling towers spread out over the Midland plain.Philip Wilkinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04893714514416441572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3287675141745937676.post-74338445591822521142011-05-07T01:45:32.130+01:002011-05-07T01:45:32.130+01:00cute!

Otherwise all citizens would be suing their local councils for lying :)<br /><br />But Steep Hill in Lincoln IS steep, even more than your image shows. I am seriously middle aged now and not as fit as I used to be, but I was a bit surpised by my puffing at the top.<br /><br />I said the same thing to students this week about another site: Alhambra in Granada. If you plan to walk up the hill, wear solid shoes!Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.com
