Quite rightly this is a big attraction for the area with the castle and cathedral near the top. Obviously it's steep so be careful, could well be very slippery at times. A few bars and unusual shops along the road, it's not that long so...More

A very pleasant area with some great little shops and buildings. The walk up the hill also helped keep me fit.

When a place is called Steep Hill you expect a steep hill - IT WAS There are handrails for certain parts & don't know what it's like in winter but if you are not energetic then walk down then come back by bus or taxi...More

A good way to walk off breakfast. Lots of quirky shops before you reach the castle & cathedral. Don't bother with the odd bookshop / coffee shop half way up though. The coffee is awful!

We naturally went up steep hill to get to the cathedral and castle. Nice cobble stones with some interesting shops on the way. Good places for some photos looking up and down on historical Lincoln.

Steep Hill earns its name without doubt! We came down from our Cathedral visit and I think I would have struggled going up but many, many people were fit enough and passed us on our way down. There are an array of small interesting shops...More

It is exceptionally steep and half way you have to cross an old cobbled street.
