Lincoln Castle and Victorian Prison
While in Lincoln, it would rude not to go and have a look around both Lincoln Castle and the Victorian Prison!
I always love looking around a old prison! Always hope that someone, will lock me side of the prison cells! Just for a number of hours! Something, very HOT about that idea!
We also, of course had a walk around the Medieval Walls at Lincoln Castle.
