Lincolnshire amidst history
As some of you know, Lincolnshire is a very old, dynamic place that has undergone several changes and evaluations from the Stone Age, through the Roman age to the modern era; and much evidence of this is reflected throughout the land. Over time Lincoln has become the heart of Lincolnshire. There are several historical structures such as High Bridge, stone bow, Lincoln cathedral, castle, Jew’s house, and so on. Boultham Park, Lincoln Arboretum, Brayford pool, The South commons and Hartsholme Country Park are some picturesque places to visit. All of these elements beautify Lincolnshire and carry a long history.
