Self-guided audio tour of the High Street, covering fifteen historic landmarks from Lincoln Castle to the site of the Battle of Lincoln.
Lincoln Audio Tour: A Timeless Journey Through History is a self-guided walk through the city's High Street, and because it's an audio tour, there's no fixed date or start time — you just use it whenever you visit. It's put together by AudaTours, and the whole thing takes around 1 hour 37 minutes at your own pace.
The route follows the ancient streets of Lincoln, starting at Lincoln Castle and Lincoln Cathedral, and taking you through to the Lincoln Museum, where a scandal once erupted over a forgotten relic. Along the way, you'll pass Jews' Court, Steep Hill, and the site of the Battle of Lincoln. In total, it covers fifteen landmarks across about 4.1 km (2.5 miles), so it's a decent stretch of walking through some of the city's most historic spots.
There's no in-person guide here. When you sign up, you get a redemption code by email and run the tour on your own phone through the AudaTours app. There's up to 38 minutes of narration, and once you've downloaded it, you can access it offline, which is handy if your signal drops while you're out and about. AudaTours says they draw on verified historical sources to bring the history, scandals and detail of each place to life, rather than settling for a dry commentary.
