Lincoln Castle, Castle Hill

Lincoln Castle, Castle Hill, Lincoln, Lincs

Built almost 1000 years ago by William the Conqueror as a strategy to control the north of the United Kingdom. The castle's walls were built in the late 11th century, replacing a temporary wooden palisade. Lucy Tower, a stone shell keep, replaced an earlier wooden keep. Houses one of four surviving copies of the Magna Carta. The castle's curtain wall was restored from 2010-2015 and a new Medieval Wall Walk atop the castle's ramparts was created.
