Car Hire Reviews Lincoln

  • “The pick-up was easy, it took 5 minutes from arriving at the desk to driving out the car, and the return took even less time.”
    Diane T

Where to go

You’ll be pleased you hired a car when you find out that Lincoln is split into two areas – Downhill and Uphill – which are connected by Steep Hill. Within these districts there are plenty of things to see, do and explore, whether you’re keen to enjoy the culture, shop until you drop or learn about the history of this fascinating city.

Nearby Lincoln

Among the destinations with the vicinity of Lincoln are Sheffield and Doncaster, which ooze Yorkshire charm. A third of Sheffield is actually located in the Peak District National Park, meaning it seamlessly merges the urban way of life with the countryside. Meanwhile, Doncaster has a heritage based on horse racing, the railways and architecture dating from the Georgian and Regency periods.

Longer drives

Venture further afield in your hire car and discover some of the wonderful cities the north of England has to offer. These include Liverpool, where you can learn more about The Beatles; Manchester, with its fantastic music scene; and Leeds, with its historic shopping arcades and extensive covered market.

Eating and drinking

Among the traditional dishes to try in Lincoln are sausages, haslet, chine, gingerbread and plum bread, which can be found all over the city. For alternative types of food, head to the Cathedral Quarter for fine dining and the waterfront for international cuisine, where there are many restaurants to choose from.

Things to do

You’ll be somewhat spoilt for choice when it comes to things to do in Lincoln, but high up on the list should be seeing the Magna Carta. Such opportunities don’t come around very often and seeing a version of the document from 1215 is awe-inspiring. For even more history, follow the Roman Trail, which runs from the North Gate to the mosaic discovered beneath the cloisters of the cathedral.

Sightseeing

Spend some time at the cathedral and the castle, before moving on to the Museum of Lincolnshire Life and RAF Scampton, which is home to the Red Arrows display team. Finally, be sure to see some fantastic works of art at the Usher Gallery, located right in the heart of Lincoln.
