Lincoln’s hidden gems: Discover the listed features of the Arboretum

Find them all: Take our photography trail of the listed monuments of the Arboretum in Lincoln.

The Lincoln Arboretum is a 22 acre park off Monks Road containing beautiful gardens, lakes, fountains and a children’s play area.

The park, which is of Grade II listed importance, was designed between 1860 and 1872 by Edward Milner – a celebrated Victorian gardener.

In 2003 the Arboretum underwent a £3 million restoration to bring it back to its former glory.

It has maintained a Green Flag status 11 years in a row.

A stroll through the Arboretum bears many fruits, and our photographer has created a special gallery trail of the scenic attraction’s Grade II listed monuments.
