Roman Lincoln a walking tour  

Love my home town, great video, thank you for sharing

What a lovely town

I spent a month vacationing in Lincoln. Roman culture, 1066 and William the conquerer, the Magna Carta, Lincoln Cathedral (attic tour and graffiti tours are best), St Mary Magdalene church with historic bell, steep hill, Lincoln museum, Adam and Eve tavern, Bomber command museum, the people and experiences were great.

The emerging view of the front of the cathedral as you walk through Exchequer Gate arch is a special thing. I got a snap of it recently on a beautiful summer's day. A magnificent reminder of the past and a testament to our country's rich and unique history.

I lived there as an ignorant student... Will have to see these roman remains on my next revisit.. as I missed a lot of them when I lived there.

Thank you for this wonderful, interesting video of Roman Lincoln. I had no idea Lincoln was a Roman town so this was a lovely surprise. Its great to see so many parts of the old walls have been preserved. If I ever get back over to the UK I'd like to visit your town.

I watched Time Team for years, thanks for sharing Britain’s Roman landmarks.

Thanks so much, interesting visit

Brilliant video. There is also another Roman gate within the old TSB on Bank street. I remember having a chance to see it on a school trip many years ago.

Great tour thank you!

I am thankful that you stick to the facts about the disappearence of the Ninth Hispanis.. Refreshing not to be swamped in fiction.

Really interesting facts about my home town. Thank you 😊

Thank you for the fascinating tour! Watching in California.

Well done .Cheers 😎🥃

Good video!

Many thanks, really informative. I am planning to visit Lincoln and the rest of Lincolnshire this summer - this a lovely introduction. Cheers

Really interesting, thanks for posting

Just wow. Imagine being surrounded by all of that antiquity still standing. Thank you for the tour.

The wall from newport arch comes through my garden.The garden is over 50ft wide and the wall is the same height as the arch.I carries on through everyone's garden.

Fascinating. So glad I found your RU-vid. Thank you for sharing.

born and bred in lincoln, there are a few spots i have never seen there. when i go "home" i will look them up.

Great city , excellent video , I really enjoyed it.

Thank you, Pete. Lincoln is just over an hour away and I keep saying to my partner "We should go so I can see Roman stuff". There's more extant than I thought. Thanks for the inspiration, your videos are fantastic.

Really interesting walk and talk - thank you Peter

Visited Lincoln Castle in 2018.Really fantastic visit.

Thank you for the time it took to make this video!

I love these vids, thanks for making them. Really interesting to see them in so much detail, especially when the sites are so far away from me.

Thank you for this interesting tour of Lincoln. I lived outside for many years in my youth, and it seems so much prettier, cleaner and quite different from how I remember it! Not a bad thing.

5:45 Now that's a majestic gate

Thank you. Excellent guided tour. Took me back to my student years when our art history tutor Professor Dr.John Lord would explain Roman Lindum and take the class through the roman remains. Great vid indeed.

Superb. I excavated in Lincoln in the 1980's, mostly on the Waterfront developments and many watching briefs all over the city. We had a section of Roman Road on Hungate and part of a carved stone relief was found. Good memories from my old home town

Lindum Colonia (Lincoln) fondata dai Romani; Roma = CIVILIZZAZIONE, il più grandioso e glorioso Impero della storia, Roma aeterna 💪

Next time you’re in Lincoln, when you’re on the Bailgate, follow the brick markers representing the Roman Forum columns North, along the row of shops. There is a gift shop that has a Roman column in the basement. It’s huge. If you ask the shop owner they’ll let you go down and have a look. It’s great!

Lincoln ( Lindum Colonia) Roman Latin for The Pool Colony.. originally an iron age settlement around what's now the Brayford Pool next to the University.

Very interesting and well presented. I have had a lifetime interest in roman and viking history in and around Lincoln. I am a keen metal detectorist who has donated many finds to museums, mostly in Norfolk and now returned to Lincolnshire. Lincoln is blessed with an excellent museum that is well used and great to see lots of organised school trips. I play squash at the Eastgate Club and take refular walks over to the Bailgate, down Steep Hill and back (gasp, gasp) every inch has so much history, thanks, Liam

Oh wow 2000 years old intact arches

Very interesting indeed. Thanks a lot for the video.

I live in a village just south of Lincoln and found this very interesting. You mentioned the forums and temples with the suggestion of a grand colonnade. I once went to a massage therapist who has her treatment room in the basement near the Newport Arch. In that basement is the base of a Roman pillar!

There's more of the Roman wall underneath the council headquarters with an information board

👌🏻

#ChefsKiss This is perfection! So glad I found this channel. At 11 minutes into the video, is that some of the old render in situ behind the waste bins?

Ahhh you're back, I look forward to seeing your vids, I'll share it on FB but we are fighting shallowness these days, do you think the landcape along Hadrians Wall look like it does now or was it full of trees ?

was much found at the lawns?

Ad. 10:40 " Somebody await me. " - Is it more positive as "Somebody wait for me." or is it more poetic?

Lincoln is a Brythonic Celtic Cymric name.
