About

Castle ward encompasses Lincoln's historic uphill area, dominated by the cathedral and castle that give the district its name. The terrain is steep, with narrow, cobbled streets like Steep Hill connecting the upper city to the broader commercial centre below. This area forms the core of the city's medieval heritage, with many buildings dating back centuries. The ward's layout and architecture are directly shaped by its Norman foundations and subsequent medieval growth.

The ward is primarily residential and administrative, housing the city's courts and council offices within the castle grounds. The Usher Gallery is also located here, adding a cultural institution to the historic setting. Daily life exists alongside significant tourist footfall drawn to the major monuments. The castle walls offer clear views across the surrounding city and countryside, a reminder of the site's original strategic purpose.
