About

Abbey ward covers the historic core of Lincoln, situated directly south of the River Witham. The area is dominated by the cathedral and castle, with many buildings constructed from local limestone. Steep streets like Steep Hill connect the upper and lower parts of the city, lined with independent shops and medieval structures.

The ward includes the area known as the Bailgate, immediately surrounding the cathedral. This is the site of the original Roman settlement, with remnants of the old city wall still visible. The Usher Gallery and the grounds of Lincoln Castle are key features within this compact, pedestrian-friendly district.
