Join the National Trust on a circular walk to the historic village of Londonthorpe, which overlooks the beautiful Belton Estate.
Londonthorpe Woods, Grantham
Discover the history and heritage of Londonthorpe village on a short walk hosted by the National Trust.
Standing on a hilltop above the Belton Estate, Londonthorpe is steeped in history dating back to 161AD. This guided walk will either pass the Bellmount Plantation and, time permitting, the Bellmount Tower, or proceed around Londonthorpe and Alma Woods, taking in the sights of Grantham and the Second World War RAF Camp.
A tour of the village and church will follow, with the church kindly providing refreshments, cake or biscuits. Any donations would be gratefully received.
Together with the National Trust, supported by National Lottery players through the National Lottery Heritage Fund, we've linked Londonthorpe Woods and Bellmount, reconnecting Grantham to its historic landscape.
This is a free event but booking in advance via the National Trust website is essential.
Please dress appropriately for the weather and bring sturdy footwear. You may also wish to bring binoculars.
