The Hillcrest Hotel
| Historic Lincoln |
A little way out of Lincoln is Gainsborough Old Hall, a magnificent timbered Medieval Manor House used by the Pilgrim Fathers before they set out for the New World. Headsets are available to use as you walk around to give you the sounds of a bygone era. Try the Collection, a new additional to the cultural life of Lincoln, and the Usher Gallery. These house a collection of Glass, coins, watches, water colours by Peter de Wint, J M W Turner and contemporary artists such as Lowry. The galleries have a changing programme of exhibitions throughout the year. For the energetic, take a stroll around the city with a guide to show you all the interesting and perhaps not so well known facts about Lincoln. For the less energetic try a river trip or even a ghost walk. Those with an interest in history the "New" Collections exhibition has now opened & is only seven minutes walk from the hotel. There is so much to see and do that a short Lincoln Break is just not long enough to see everything. Most places of interest are only a short stroll from the Hillcrest Hotel, which means that you can leave your car here for most, if not all of your stay with us. Relax and enjoy a wonderful City and its friendly people. For those staying for 2 or more days then the Time Travel Pass is a very worthwhile purchase from the Hillcrest Hotel or Tourist Information Centres. Giving access to Lincoln Cathedral, Castle, Museum of Lincolnshire Life & much more. This pass for a family of 2 adults & up to 3 children is £20, really great value. |
