From whatever direction you approach the City of Lincoln you will immediately be drawn to the silhouette of the city's magnificent Cathedral. The City of Lincoln was made famous by the filming in 2005 for Hollywood blockbuster, The Da Vinci Code. Filming took place in the Cathedral, which was a good substitute for Westminster Abbey. The estate agents in Lincoln say that Ron Howard, the Oscar winning director of The Da Vinci Code, described Lincoln as "beautiful, absolutely gorgeous and friendly". The new university, the new dual-carriageway on the A46 and the RAF's presence at Waddington and Scampton, where the Red Arrows are currently based, are all factors bringing people into the city. There is a wide selection of desirable properties for sale in Lincoln, and with the good quality of life, and broad based employment opportunities the housing market is starting to diversify, with more city centre apartments coming into the mix.
