Brayford Pool is England's oldest inland Harbour. Here, you can admire all manner of boats and barges coming and going. With a great selection of places for food, drink and entertainment, the waterfront is a popular palace to visit in Lincoln.

Hiking

The Brayford Pool is a natural lake formed from a widening of the River Witham in the centre of the city of Lincoln in England. It was used as a port by the Romans - who connected it to the River Trent by constructing the Foss Dyke - and has a long industrial heritage.

Some nice bars and restaurants overlook the pool.
