The historic waterfront area of Lincoln marks the point where the Roman Fossdyke meets the River Witham to link Lincoln to the sea.

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.

Ellys Manor is a late medieval manor house built by a successful wool merchant. The highlight of Ellys Manor is the series of early Tudor wall paintings, which are reckoned to be among the finest and most complete in England. Sir Niklaus Pevsner, who might be said to know a thing or two about English historic architecture, said of Ellys Manor House, 'The building and paintings are of outstanding historical interest', and called the manor a 'must see'.

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.
