First visit to the castle and grounds. Very interesting place to visit. The staff were very helpful and informative. I enjoyed walking around the castle walls and looking out over the views of Lincoln. The Victorian prison inside the walls gave an insight into a prisoner's life.

Great place to visit. Our guide on the walking tour was Daniel Phillips. He was very knowledgeable about the history of the castle and was a great communicator. The prison was well worth a visit. Staff were all friendly and helpful. Recommended definitely worth a visit.

What an amazing place!!! There is a wonderful walk around the castle walls and you can even have a headset which gives you audio tour and history. The staff are very helpful and friendly and are always on hand too help you. Be warned though....you need a good head for heights which I don't have and only just made it round the castle walls with help!!! The prices were brilliant A much recommended day out!!!

Amazing. For the ticket price you get way more than almost any other heritage site in the UK. Definitely do the walking tours that leave at the top of most hours. Wall walk and prison are included in the ticket. Ann was an incredible tour guide if you happen to get her.
