What a beautiful church in the heart of this great Lincolnshire town! I visited St. Wulfram's during their Christmas tree festival, and I was really struck by how active and vibrant it was as a part of the Grantham community. There were kids ice skating and people of all stripes checking out the festive collection of trees. Also, the church is currently raising money to repair a stained glass window that was damaged by a burglar in August, so I made a donation to contribute to this worthy cause. The folks in Grantham are lucky to have this beautiful church in their city.

We went today as there were pony rides at just £3.00 which we thought our daughter would enjoy. As we looked around the house and went to the very large play area on our last visit we decided to have a walk around the pleasure grounds and visit the maze, (we were far to tired last time as everything is so large) we thoroughly enjoyed this and got close up to deer and squirrels. The fishing lodge is a lovely looking place on a very peaceful lake, the maze is small but great fun for the kids. Disabled access around the pleasure ground is very good for wheelchairs or mobility scooters, I just advise to go in the drier months when the paths aren't as slippy.

Spent a fascinating morning here. Excellent discovery centre which kept the teenagers entertained for ages! Good film to start the journey off. The house was superb & the staff very knowledgeable. The highlight was the apple tree! It was a gloriously sunny day so there were lots of photos taken.
A brilliant day with no complaints from the teens. A feat in itself!

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.

When I visited I was the only person there but the owner took considerable care to cover all aspects of the house and decoration and answer my questions. The tour I had was extremely well planned and systematically covered the links between the Hansiatic League, Calais, the Church and the house. The wall paintings are fascinating and the owner has plainly spent a great deal of time researching them and other places with similar decoration.
It is worth travelling some distance to visit this unique house and to learn about this particularly influential time in England's history and the impact its owner had..

I went to school for the last part of my semester in Grad school and loved it!! It's beautiful!! This place is like a hotel/dorm set-up so some of the questions don't apply. This is a sister property to the University of Evansville in Evansville, Indiana

Wyndham Park in is one of the very best in Britain - and that's official! The park's town centre location next to Grantham's Riverside Walk means it's hugely popular with visitors and local alike. It's South Kesteven District Council's aim to provide a park which is not only welcoming but safe, offering a superb range of activities and experiences to suit all ages. We have been a "Green Flag" park since 2012. This is a UK-wide mark of excellence for parks and Gardens and winning the award means Wyndham Park is recognised as being amongst the best in the country. Grantham's Wyndham Park Forum and South Kesteven District Council have received support from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) and the Big Lottery Fund. The development funding is for a project aimed at restoring the park to its former glory as a First World War memorial park and be one of the district's finest assets.

Well laid out Park just blooming now out of winter. Flowers blossoming, ducks and birds around and paths for walking as well as green fields and large children's park. Ice cream kiosk with good range of flavours and a lovely friendly cafe where the paninis are pricey but well worth it. You can walk off your panini by following the river path for a walk either way - you might even spot some fish!

A free museum with well laid out displays of local people and things of interest round Grantham. Good dispays about M.Thatcher and Isaac Newton as you would expect both being locals. When you go out it is worth taking a look at the very impressive statue of Newton in centre of town.
