STEEP HILL.....THE REALLY STEEP HILL!

 High Street in Lincoln becomes Steep Hill as it rises up towards the cathedral. A few yards up the incline brings us to the Cardinal's Hat, a decent free house.


Further up is a modern bar, the Strait & Narrow, which had a decent selection of beer when visited in 2013.


After a VERY steep climb things begin to level out as we reach the Wig & Mitre.


At the top, close to the cathedral, is the Lion & Snake, once owned by Hole's of Newark, but now in the hands of Marston's.



The view of the cathedral from around the corner.



Here's the cathedral from a different viewpoint.


Stained glass inside Lincoln Cathedral.


From the tower of the cathedral, there's a fine view over the castle (Creative Commons License).


This part of the city has some really good pubs. Here's a new addition, Beerheadz.


You will no longer get Hall's Ely Ales in the Bull & Chain, as it's now closed.


Luckily, nearby is the excellent Morning Star.


Close to the castle is the Victoria, with a good beer range.


The Plough Boy is a decent little boozer.


Over the road, the Strugglers. Hopefully it will surive the pandemic.


Well, that's Lincoln complete, the next post will see us moving on.
