Apparently at the top of Britain's most attractive High Street. Not really sure about that but this stretch is definitely worth the hike.

Lovely old fashioned cobbled street which is literally what it says it is - steep !! Not really very suitable for those with mobility problems and definitely not suitable for wheelchair users. Interesting little shops to look at.

A bit of challenge, particularly if you're unfit like me! However the individual shops and cafes make it well worth the effort. Take time to visit the Old Sweet Shop and find all your favourite sweets from your childhood.

This is a beautiful and historical part of Lincoln joining the city below to the old Cathedral Quarter at the top. There are quaint shops and boutiques selling a variety of goods and plenty of lovely places to eat (and rest!) .The cobbled street and Tudor style buildings give this an air of times gone past. Luckily the steepest section... More

Love the small shops on each side. Sweet shops with jars of sweets. The atmosphere, everything is yesteryear.

its easy to go strolling down this hill without a care in the world, our hotel was at the top of it, trouble is it is not so easy to get back up. The little shops and tearooms the length of it are a good excuse to stop and pretend you are not puffed out. I must have tackled it... More

Beautiful street with some unique shops and untouched by the 21st century.If you have a heart condition or you are unfit do not attempt to walk up this hill.There is a bus that can get you to the top and you can look down.Quaint and pretty but only 3 stars as I would have liked to see some more specialist...

I always enjoy the Steep Hill area in Lincoln. The shops are quirky and some lovely little cafes and things to stop off and look at. We enjoyed tea at Dennets when we'd finally reached the top! It is steep, but I think you know by looking at it whether you could manage it or not. I personally wouldn't miss... More

Very steep indeed! But there are lots of interesting little shops, tea rooms and pubs along the way. The nicest way to go up to the castle and cathedral area!
