Grimsthorpe Castle

About

Grimsthorpe Castle commands an impressive presence over the Lincolnshire countryside, a testament to 16th‑century ambition crafted by Sir John Vanbrugh. The Tudor south façade stands in striking contrast to the Baroque north front, while visitors can wander through state rooms such as Vanbrugh Hall, the Chinese Drawing Room and the Chapel. The expansive park and gardens, open on public days from May to September, offer scenic walks with woodland adventures and opportunities to spot local wildlife. Guided and self‑guided tours provide a range of experiences: a one‑hour guided tour of the castle, a self‑guided exploration of both the castle and gardens, and 1‑hour park tours for coach groups. Season tickets grant unlimited access to the castle, park and gardens during the open season and include benefits such as free entry to Sacrewell Farm and discounted event tickets. With its blend of architectural splendor, rich history, and natural beauty, Grimsthorpe Castle welcomes families, history enthusiasts, and nature lovers alike, making it one of Lincolnshire’s must‑visit heritage sites.
