	Woolsthorpe Manor

Small 17th-century manor house, birthplace and family home of Sir Isaac Newton.

Newton formulated some of his major works here during the Plague years (1665–67). An early edition of his Principia is on display and the orchard includes a descendant of the famous apple tree. There is the ‘Young Newton’ exhibition in the house and the Science Discovery Centre in the barn. The recently restored Wet Kitchen shows where food was prepared for the household.

Rutland Water - a great place to start

The largest man-made lake in western Europe, Rutland Water has something for everyone. The attractive 3,100 acre reservoir has an international reputation for providing a balance of sport, leisure and wildlife conservation and offers everyone the opportunity to try something new.

You can try energetic sports such as windsurfing, rock-climbing or canoeing, hire a dinghy, bicycle or fishing boat or just relax by the water and watch the action around the 25 mile shoreline.

Burley House

Burley House is one of the nicest old stately homes around.
