National Trust property on the edge of Grantham. Generations of the Brownlow family made their mark on Belton, commissioning the finest designers and craftsmen of their age to shape the estate we see today. The house and gardens showcase cutting edge design and innovation, from 17th century sash windows to a cast iron-framed orangery in the Italian Garden, made possible thanks to the Industrial Revolution. The interiors are equally impressive, with a dazzling collection of silver, porcelain, and a world-renowned library.
Today, Belton welcomes new generations to explore the ancient deer park, picnic in the pleasure grounds, or burn off energy in the National Trust's largest outdoor adventure playground. There is a good cafe in the former stable block and a nice shop in the adjacent courtyard.

Woodhall Spa is unique in Lincolnshire, having more in common in its history and ambience with Spa towns like Harrogate, than with the traditional market towns and rural villages of the county.
Woodhall Spa is a beautiful inland resort with an Edwardian character, set amidst magnificent pine woods. Regarded as one of Lincolnshire's most attractive villages, Woodhall Spa is famous for its peaceful and relaxing atmosphere, and with many fine hotels and attractions it is the perfect location for a short break or holiday. The village has a variety of attractions including two top class golf courses, the unique 'Kinema in the Woods', Cottage Museum, Jubilee Park outdoor heated swimming pool and several aviation heritage sites associated with 617 Squadron (the Dambusters).
The “Flicks in the Sticks,” as Woodhall Spa`s famous Kinema in the Woods, was dubbed by the hundreds of servicemen who crowded into it during the 2nd World War, is unique. It is the only cinema in the country to operate by projection from behind the screen. At weekends an organ complete with organist rises up onto the stage for the interlude. A night at the Kinema is unique and transports you back to a forgotten time.

The air museum is located on part of the former World War Two airfield of RAF Winthorpe, close to the Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire border. Aviation heritage has been at the centre of our historical site for more than forty five years. Our aircraft, helicopters, aeroplanes, aero engines and aviation exhibits are sited partly on leased land next to the Newark Showground and land that we own. Very little remains of the original wartime buildings and what remains of the original runways are no longer fit for use. In addition to the aircraft the museum displays a diverse display of aviation artefacts and a collection of more than thirty five aero engines. When you visit we hope that you will find time to pause for a break in our Café. Whilst we are operating to Covid-Secure guidelines you can choose from a selection of pre-packed sandwiches, cake snacks and hot or cold drinks.

It became the first Military Air Academy in the world.
At the Cranwell Aviation Heritage Museum you can discover the history of RAF Cranwell from its early days as a Royal Naval Air Service base to the current day. The experience includes interactive exhibits such as a Jet Provost flight simulator, Vampire nose pod, exhibitions and artefacts. There is also a courtyard area with Jet Provost aircraft on display.

Metheringham is just 20 minutes by car from Ewerby.
Metheringham Airfield Visitor Centre is a small museum dedicated to the men and women who served in and supported 106 Squadron, Royal Air Force Bomber Command from 1943 until the end of the Second World War. Based in buildings that were once part of the airfield’s communal site, the museum is the home of Dakota KG651, a veteran transport aircraft that saw service during the War.
The museum’s wide range of exhibits give visitors a real sense of what it was like to live and work at RAF Metheringham during the war. Brand new for 2021 is the Commonwealth of Comrades exhibition, which tells the story of the men and women who came from across the globe to serve at the airfield. Visitors can experience each Lancaster bomber crew position, learn about the equipment each crew member used and the training they had to do. Another new feature is the Ditching Display, which features the museum’s rare World War 2 aircraft dinghy and a range of artefacts relating to ditching in the sea. The museum's Dakota KG651 is being faithfully restored to its former glory and represents similar aircraft from the US 52nd Troop Carrier Wing that carried wounded servicemen through RAF Metheringham on their journeys back to the United States. Visitors can board the aircraft and feel what it would have been like to have flown as a passenger on a Dakota, as well as sitting up front and getting a pilot’s eye view. Opening times:
Wednesdays, Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays (March - October)
11:00 - 17:00
