Grantham,near Nottingham for Easter. What to do?

[Oblomov17]

We are going to Grantham near Nottingham for Easter weekend. Ds13 & Ds9. There is a swimming pool at the hotel. Where else shall we go? To the castle? Go-carting in Newark? Any recommendations please?

How far do you want to travel? Holme Pierrepont in Nottingham does some brilliant outdoor activities.

Belton house if it's open. National trust. Fantastic playground (or so I'm told, not been for a while)

You could hire bikes at Rutland Water if it's a nice day.

Definitely Belton, something for everyone and all weathers. Belvoir Castle, Newark Castle, Stamford, Burleigh House, Rutland Water, Sherwood Forest.

Belton and the farm shop cafe further up the road, Issac newtons house at Woolsthorpe, walk round Belvoir Castle, lunch at the chequers at woolsthorpe, day at Stamford.

Basically, go somewhere else. Belton (NT) and Burghley would be towards the top of my list.

Though St Wulfram's up worth a look, including the chained library (if it's open and you gave bookish DC).

If you do go as far as Rutland Water, then you'll pass Woolsthorpe Manor (NT, Isaac Newton's house) which is an interesting visit. Had a nice hands-on science-themed zone last time I was there.

Oh thank you. Checks these all out ......
