Great Places To Visit

Woolsthorpe Manor And Sir Isaac Newton Centre

11 January 2010 by bigdaysout Leave a Comment

This modest 17th-century Lincolnshire manor house was the birthplace and family home of one of the world’s most famous scientists. Instead of running the family sheep farm as a young man, Newton developed his remarkable work about light and gravity here. Visit the famous apple tree and discover Newton’s ideas in the hands-on Science Discovery Centre. Enjoy The Byre activity room, short film and explore the orchards and farmyard.

Winner of Sandford Award 2003, 2008.
