Woolsthorpe-by-Colsterworth is a hamlet located in the rural countryside in the valley of the River Witham and is best known for Woolsthorpe Manor, a 17th century farmhouse and home of Sir Isaac Newton. The Manor is now managed by the National Trust where you can visit and see a descendant of the famous apple tree, instrumental in Newton's discovery of gravity.
The hamlet lies within walking distance from Colsterworth where there are many great amenities to hand. These include a Church of England Primary School, a Co-Op, a convenience store, a friendly Public House that serves great food, a doctors’ surgery, as well as many community events throughout the year. In recent years, it was also mentioned in The Sunday Times as being one of the best rural villages to live in Britain.
The A1 is within 3 minutes by car for superb road links and is in easy reach of the large market towns of Stamford, Oakham, Grantham, Melton Mowbray and Bourne, where there are excellent schools, shopping, restaurants, and amenities. The surrounding areas also provide a wide range of leisure and recreational opportunities. There is a choice of golf courses within a 15-mile radius, water sports at Rutland Water and other sports clubs in the nearby towns.
