The Da Vinci Trail: Lincoln Cathedral

If you’ve read Dan Brown’s Da Vinci Code, you’d have realised that the Lin­coln Cathe­dral is not fea­tured any­where in the book. (So peo­ple tell me, because I haven’t read the book).

It is appar­ently, how­ever, fea­tured in the movie. But not to worry, you worry-wart Da Vinci Code fans, the Lin­coln Cathe­dral was sim­ply used as a sub­sti­tute for West­min­ster Abbey, because, as Mr Miyagi’s intre­pid oper­a­tives inform him, the pro­duc­tion wasn’t allowed to shoot at the real thing, pre­sum­ably for secu­rity rea­sons — you don’t want ter­ror­ists mak­ing a doc­u­men­tary or a fea­ture, you know?

But good job, loca­tion scouts! The Lin­coln Cathe­dral does look a bit like West­min­ster, only it’s way up in the north-east of England.
