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 (166567). An early edition of his Principia is on display and the orchard includes a descendant of the famous apple tree. Newton's ideas can be explored in the hands-on Science Discovery Centre. Visitors can see the restored Wet Kitchen in the house, and outside there are orchards, paddocks and farm buildings, with rare breed Lincoln Longwool sheep and hens. .
