A Knights’ Trail, Lincoln – The Girls’ Found Them All!

Lincoln Knights’ Trail

Kaycee, her friend Emma and my niece, Lily-May spent the day in Lincoln doing the Knights’ Trail.  If you don’t know what it is, here’s the blurb from the website:

Follow the Lincoln Knights’ Trail – 36 sculptures across Lincoln city centre – to celebrate the 800th anniversary of the Battle of Lincoln and the sealing of the Charter of the Forest.

“The Battle of Lincoln, one of the most decisive in English history, meant that England would be ruled by the Angevin, not the Capetian dynasty.”
— Professor David Carpenter

Last year we had Lincoln Barons’ Charter Trail that celebrated 800 years of the Magna Carter.

Museum Of Lincolnshire Life

36 Knights have been placed around Lincoln city centre and the aim is to find them all. A leaflet can be picked up from The Museum of Lincolnshire Life that shows where all the Knights’ are. When you find each Knight you will see a symbol on it somewhere. Once you’ve found the symbol, you check the code sheet and write the corresponding word in your leaflet.

When you’ve found them all, you return your leaflet (there are numerous places to hand them in) to receive a badge and a certificate.

It took them all day to find them. They had a great day even though they were shattered when they’d done! 🙂
