Lincoln Castle has been named one of England’s leading visitor attractions after receiving VisitEngland’s Gold accolade, an award reserved for sites that deliver consistently high-quality experiences. The recognition follows outstanding visitor feedback and a strong performance in a recent assessment carried out by an independent inspector.
The review highlighted the strength of the castle’s historic exhibitions, the high standard of interpretation across the site, and the expertise shown by staff and volunteer guides. The assessor’s overall impression was that the attraction offers a distinctive and engaging experience for visitors of all ages.
The Gold accolade adds to a growing list of honours for the landmark. Earlier this year, Lincoln Castle secured Tripadvisor’s Travellers’ Choice Award, placing it among the top-rated destinations globally. VisitEngland’s annual accolades celebrate attractions across the tourism sector, from heritage sites and gardens to museums and outdoor spaces, recognising locations that excel in visitor experience.
