The historic waterfront area of Lincoln marks the point where the Roman Fossdyke meets the River Witham to link Lincoln to the sea. There are enjoyable trails around the Pool area, which is home to a colony of mute swans. Near Brayside is the 15th-century inn known as the Witch and Wardrobe, which, legends tell us, is haunted by a poltergeist and a pair of star-crossed lovers.

A fine 13th/14th-century gateway between Castle Square and the Minster Yard that surrounds Lincoln Cathedral. The gate was so named because, in the Middle Ages, tenants of the cathedral gathered here to pay their rents, and a chequered cloth of alternating black and white squares was used to aide the counting.
