This is the 5th anniversary of the South Lincolnshire Walking Festival and what better way to celebrate than by exploring one of Lincolnshire’s best kept secrets. Therefore, we are very excited to be hosting this year’s Launch event at the National Trust property, Grantham House! This is the very first time Grantham House will be open to the public with guided tours being offered inside and outside!
Grantham House is a stunning Grade I listed townhouse steeped in history. The house is Medieval in origin and sits within Castlegate, a prestigious area of Grantham town during the Medieval period. Over the centuries the house and the gardens have been altered to fit the styles of the time with some personal touches from its owners. Will you be the first to explore this spectacular attraction?
We have a great range of activities lined up for the day. Walkers can enjoy a walk through Grantham and Belton’s historic parks and a shorter rural rumble, taking in the views around Grantham. Furthermore, there’s a secret treasure hunt in the grounds, tours of the stunning gardens and an exclusive chance to take a sneak peek inside Grantham House! There are also stalls to explore and plenty of space to relax and unwind on a Saturday.
For car users, there are many car parks located in Grantham, the nearest to the House, being Wategate (NG31 6NS), Castlegate (NG31 6SN), Conduit Lane (NG31 6PB) and Welham Street (NG31 6QU). Hot and cold refreshments are available on the day and dogs are also welcome in the grounds, provided they are on leads. All the walks and tours are free but your donations are greatly appreciated. Due to the house still being under renovation, disabled access may be limited, but for further information contact grantham.house@nationaltrust.org.uk or slwf@heritagelincolnshire.org
