This is the stunning view of Lincoln Cathedral at Night from the rooftop terrace of the White Hart Hotel. Right in the centre of the City, the boutique hotel has large comfy rooms, some with this kind of view out over the nearby Cathedral. I spent a happy half hour trying to get a good shot without the scaffolding before I realised that at night it all merges seamlessly into the architecture of the Cathedral itself. I was in Lincoln to explore connections with the #Mayflower400 project that I am working on - in preparation for the 400 year anniversary of the #Mayflower sailing to America. And I was lucky enough to have time to spend exploring Lincoln itself and looking round the Cathedral. Building on the Cathedral started in 1088 and from 1311 to 1549 it was the tallest building in the world. But, the central spire collapsed in 1549 and was never rebuilt. It doesn't spoil the grandeur of Lincoln Cathedral though - sitting on the hilltop overlooking the city. In fact John Ruskin said: "I have always held... that the cathedral of Lincoln is out and out the most precious piece of architecture in the British Isles and roughly speaking worth any two other cathedrals we have." #CathedralLife @Lincoln #LoveLincoln #VisitLincoln @VisitLincoln #lincoln #Lincolnshire #lincolnuk #igerslincoln #igersuk #visitlincoln #visitengland #medieval #travelblogger #instatbn #writetotravel #ttot #tbin #travelblog #secretplaces @white_hart_hotel_lincoln #WhitehartLincoln
