Few wedding venues in the world can match the breath-taking approach to Harlaxton – a straight, mile-long drive across an ornate lakeside bridge, under a gatehouse to the towering, fairytale façade that is Harlaxton Manor. It floats like a vision at the end of its avenue, set amongst 300 acres of formal gardens and mature woodland. This iconic Manor House offers unparalleled views over the Vale of Belvoir in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Charmingly English, the Manor is the perfect venue for a truly romantic wedding. We can cater for a wide range of weddings – from an intimate civil ceremony and reception for 30 guests to a large evening celebration for 350 in our magnificent State Rooms. We offer the very highest levels of professional service and, because we only operate on an exclusive-use basis, you will feel very much at home in these beautiful surroundings. Harlaxton Manor is owned and operated by Harlaxton College.

This is a nationally important area of countryside with some of the most beautiful, unspoilt scenery in the East Midlands. There are rolling hills and hidden valleys, gentle streams and nestling villages.The Lincolnshire Wolds is a living, working landscape, with woodland, grassland and abandoned chalk pits providing important habitats for rare flowers and wildlife.
Open space river running through it good for walking jogging pushing a pram little ones riding balance bike's

A hidden gem! We went out today and decided to visit the Walled Garden and had a wonderful time. The gardens are well-maintained, with themes, excellent planting and structures to explore. There is a lovely tea-room with excellently priced food and drinks, and a brilliant boho vibe to the indoor room. We could have chosen to sit outside in one of the many socially distant willow arbors as well. We bought sculpture and plants, and were spoiled for choice for wonderful things. (I may have to go back for a picnic basket...) The staff were friendly and helpful, and there was even free parking. I can't fault it, and will most definitely go back!

This historic Elizabethan house (circa 1587) features a serpentine park that was designed by Lancelot Brown and a gothic greenhouse and stables.
An amazing house with wonderful interiors and very fine art. I think we saw 32 rooms and every one contained items of beauty and great interest. Right from the start we received a warm welcome (worth mentioning Jack who was so friendly and helpful). So much to see. Spent over 3 hours here taking it all in. I recommend this place and also recommend you allow enough time to take a leisurely look at everything. This is not a place to be rushed.

Three great attractions. One great day out. Medieval Wall Walk. Victorian Prison. Magna Carta. Enjoy spectacular views across Lincolnshire from our completed Medieval Wall Walk. Visit the David P.J. Ross Magna Carta Vault and see one of only four remaining original Magna Carta along side the Charter of the Forest. Immerse yourself in the lives of prisoners and their daily routines in the Victorian Prison and see the unique separate system chapel. 1000 years of history - where it happened. Winter Opening Hours: 10:00 - 16:00 Summer Opening Hours: 10:00 - 17:00
The main purpose for us to go to the Lincoln Castle during our visit to Lincoln was to see the Magna Carter signed by King John in 1215 and the Charter of Forest with the seal of King Henry III appended in 1217. These two supremely historic documents can only be viewed together at the Lincoln Castle, with no equal worldwide! The jail, crown court building and castle grounds are quite interesting and walking on top of the castle walls offers panoramic views of the Town and surrounding countryside. This is a must visit Tourist Attraction in Lincoln!

'I have always held and proposed against all comers to maintain that the Cathedral of Lincoln is out and out the most precious piece of architecture in the British Isles' - John Ruskin Lincoln Cathedral was for almost 300 years the tallest building in the world. Yet, in spite of its size, it is filled with intricate detail. Remigius, the Bishop who built the earliest part of the Cathedral in the Norman style, came over with William the Conqueror. Later, in Lincoln Cathedral the architects of the gothic style perhaps reached the pinnacle of their art. Everywhere you look there is the most intricate detail, walls, roofs elaborated by the finest carving. From the time of the death of the saintly Bishop of Lincoln, Hugh of Avalon who so lovingly restored the Cathedral after an earthquake in the 12th century, thousands of people have come on pilgrimage to this place of pilgrimage, holiness and prayer. In 1215 another Hugh Bishop of Lincoln, Hugh of Wells, was present at Runnymede along with Lincolnshire's Cardinal Archbishop Stephen Langton. When King John agreed to the barons' demands, copies of Magna Carta were made and distributed to sheriffs and cathedrals throughout England. Lincoln Cathedral's Magna Carta is one of only four from the original distribution still in existence. It is the only one to bear the name of its city.
Tour guides are excellent and this is a beautiful place in every sense Helpful and welcoming staff Enjoyed the cafe and exhibits We went back on several occasions Roof tour and floor tour worthwhile and look for the light coming through the stained glass windows and reflecting on the floor and columns

Stunning visitor centre overlooking The Wash which has a cafe providing a great range of snacks and great food. There is also an information centre which runs various events throughout the year. Opening hours are restricted during the winter months and you will need to pay for parking.

A beautiful garden that has been revived since 2001. The large stately home was demolished in 1951 and the site abandoned. Now visitors can see the grounds that President Franklin Roosevelt described as 'a dream of Nirvana, almost too good to be true.' Work is still ongoing and the restoration and features of this 400 year garden makes a fascinating trip. We have a good tearoom and are very easy to find off the A1.
A lovely garden which drops down to the river witham.It is Sweet Pea Week for 3 weeks & they are stunning & smell fab.The cafe was open selling hot & cold drinks & yummy cake as take away.A lovely place to while away a couple of hours
