Grimsthorpe Castle sits amongst rolling Lincolnshire countryside surrounded by gardens, extensive historic woodland and a 50-acre lake.

Enjoy the chance to soak up the atmosphere and ‘Spirit of Place’ in a Castle that has been home to the same family since 1516 and is filled with fine furniture, paintings and tapestries.

Explore the beautiful meandering gardens, including a rose garden, kitchen garden and walled garden. Discover the surrounding parkland and miles of traffic – free trails that provide a safe haven to spot wildlife and other hidden delights.

Families love our adventure playground, which you can find nestled in a tranquil woodland setting. Hours of fun await on the zip wire, challenging climbing trails and playful see saws.

Complete your visit with a delicious lunch from The March Hare Tea Trailer, and don’t leave without paying a visit to our Farm Shop (open Tuesday to Sunday).
