Lincoln - Castle

On Castle Hill is the entrance to the mighty Lincoln Castle which was built by William the Conqueror after an entire quarter of the town had been cleared in 1068; the wooden palisade was replaced in 1113 by thick defensive walls. In the southwest of the grounds stands the 12th century keep, known as Lucy Tower, in the northeast corner Cobb Hall, a horseshoe shaped bastion from the 13th century.
