LINCOLN CASTLE REVIEWS
A very nice walk along the castle's walls. You can enjoy the panoramic view of Lincoln city and it's amazing. Exciting view from each of the watch towers that you can go into. There is an option to borrow an electronic tour guide in English, French or German for telling information on the spots.
Really enjoyed our evening at Lincoln castle. We paid to go in out of usual hours as it was quieter and we wanted something to do once the shops had closed before we went for an evening meal in the centre. The castle was great to walk around and the staff were helpful and friendly. Even out of usual hours the gift shop was still open too but the exhibitions aren't but that's why it's a bit cheaper than in the day. Will definitely be going back again soon.
The trip to Lincoln castle was very much last minute and we completely underestimated how much there is to see! Allow several hours to view all of the attractions and points of interest. The wall walk is a favourite of mine, offering incredible views of the city.

Tattershall Castle is one of the earliest and most exquisite surviving instances of English medieval brickwork. In 1911, it was rescued from being exported to America by Lord Curzon of Kedleston. Situated prominently in the flat Lincolnshire fens, Tattershall Castle was meticulously designed to leave a lasting impression, boasting substantial Gothic fireplaces and windows reminiscent of a church. This impressive structure was commissioned by Lord Ralph Cromwell, who held the esteemed position of Treasurer of England, and it was intended to showcase his wealth, status, and influence. Visitors can ascend the winding staircase, explore the vast and reverberating chambers, and step out onto the battlements, from which the breathtaking beauty of the Lincolnshire countryside unfolds.

TATTERSHALL CASTLE REVIEWS
Great place to enjoy a bit of a history. You can go all the way up in the tower and view from top is breathtaking. Stairs are not as scary as in some other historic castles. They gave small car park, but plenty of space. Kids loved exploring the castle.
Amazing place to visit. Stunning views from top if the castle. Each floor has condensed historical information which is ideal for an insight into the castles past. Small shop selling cold drinks and ice cream. Toilets. Picnic area to eat own food. Really enjoyable place to visit.
Lovely day out, quick top while in the local area. The church is also stunning, take a moment to go inside and look up. The graveyard is also worth a look, quite a few headstones from 1880s. Made my way up to the top of the tower for some sunning views.

DODDINGTON HALL & GARDENS REVIEWS
What an amazing day at Doddington Hall and Gardens. It was our first time to go for Pumpkin picking, so was just fantastic. We really enjoyed every part of it. The fall spirits is so cozy, the Halloween decorations so lovely.Then we headed to the pumpkin field, people from every where gathering there and searching for the perfect pumpkin, all smiling and enjoying it. Thank you very much for making it simple and easy for everyone to enjoy the Halloween.
What a very impressive house. Lots to see and knowledgeable volunteers to answer any queries. The 'forgotten room' holds many curios from times past. The gardens are full of blooms with easy access. The kitchen garden is superb with produce used in the cafe and well stocked farm shop. Look out for the three sweet chestnut trees, around 450 years old. Ample free car parking on site and across the road.
A house full of history. Many fine paintings, furniture, and porcelain. Staff are very friendly, polite and impressively knowledgeable. I do recommend a visit to this house, gardens, cafe and nice shops.
