Belton House – Grantham, Lincolnshire: 17th century country house, built for Sir John Brownlow. Apart from the house, which is magnificent, the estate has beautiful gardens and extensive parkland.

Tattershall Castle – Tattershall, Lincolnshire: Medieval brick built castle built by Ralph Cromwell.

Woolsthorpe Manor – Nr Grantham, Lincolnshire: 17th century manor house, and former home of scientist Sir Isaac Newton.

Grantham House – Grantham, Lincolnshire: Handsome townhouse in the Castlegate area of Grantham.

Gunby Hall – Gunby, Lincolnshire: 18th century, red brick house with Victorian walled garden, beautiful when the weather is fine.

If you would visit just one town in the county, then you would probably pick Lincoln, the county town, here you can visit the stunning Lincoln Cathedral, Lincoln Castle, or any number of other interesting places.

There also plenty of sports and entertainment facilities in the county, one of the best known is Market Rasen racecourse which holds National Hunt meetings throughout the year.
