Lincoln Castle welcomes 100,000th visitor after three-year restoration

Lincoln Castle guide Mike Lewis has welcomed the 100,000th visitor for a tour of the grounds of historic Lincoln Castle since its three-year restoration was finished in 2015..

Kim Vickers, Lincoln Castle general manager, said: “We are thrilled to celebrate the milestone of welcoming the 100,000th person to experience one of our guided tours at Lincoln Castle, a testament to the dedication and passion of our volunteer guides from the Friends of Lincoln Castle.

“Their commitment to delivering exceptional tours and providing comprehensive training and recruitment for new guides is truly remarkable.

“The positive feedback we continually receive from our visitors highlights the significant impact these tours have on their experience. We are incredibly grateful for the invaluable contribution of our volunteers, and we look forward to continuing this successful collaboration for many years to come.”

Guided rounds tours are available to visitors with a day ticket and Annual Pass holders, and are led by one of FOLC’s specialist guides.

Lasting between 45 minutes and an hour, the tours explore the area of the bailey within the castle walls, and is ideal both for those who seek an introduction to the historic site, as well as for anyone who wants to delve deeper into the colourful history of the castle.
