Woolsthorpe Manor
About
Located in the picturesque village of Woolsthorpe‑by‑Colsterworth in Lincolnshire, Woolsthorpe Manor is the historic home where Sir Isaac Newton was born on 4 January 1643. Today the National Trust presents this Grade I listed 17th‑century farmhouse as a window into the life of the world‑changing scientist, complete with his famed apple tree, a hands‑on Science Centre, the charming Newton’s Barn Coffee Shop, and a gift shop featuring National Trust merchandise. The manor opens daily from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (4:00 p.m. is the last entry time) and is closed during the winter months, reopening on 14 February 2026. Members of the National Trust enjoy free entry. A range of admission tickets is available for adults, children, families, and single‑adult families, with prices set in British pounds. Visitors can explore the historic house, the Apple Tree, the Science Centre, and the cozy coffee shop, and they are welcomed to experience the slow‑moving curiosity that inspired Newton’s scientific breakthroughs.
