Self-guided audio tour through 12 historic landmarks around Lincoln Cathedral, delivered via the AudaTours app.
Lincoln Audio Tour: Unveiling History's Treasures is a self-guided walk that starts at the Lincoln Drill Hall on Freeschool Lane, and because it's self-guided, there's no fixed date or start time to work around—you just set off when you're ready.
The tour runs beneath the shadow of Lincoln Cathedral, through a city layered with rebellion, scandal and buried history. Twelve landmarks mark the route, which stretches around 2.7 kilometres and takes about an hour and ten minutes at your own pace. There's up to 30 minutes of narration that plays automatically as you approach each stop, so you can spend as much or as little time at each spot as you like.
Among the stops are places where the Drill Hall once rang with the raw energy of The Rolling Stones, where an accusation at the Jew's House sparked violence that shook a kingdom, and where Roman mosaics lie buried beneath the ground at The Collection. It's a good way to see the city's ancient stones and landmarks without having to follow a group or stick to a set timetable.
