Standing in the shadow of Lincoln cathedral, the Bishops Palace was once the administrative centre of the largest diocese in England, stretching from the Humber to the Thames. Begun in the late 12th century, an impressive feature is the undercrofted West Wall. Visited by Henry VIII and James I, the palace was sacked by Royalist troops during the Civil War. Built on hillside terraces, it boasts one of the most northerly working vineyards in Europe as well as a contemporary Heritage Garden.
