Join one of our knowledgeable Walk Leaders on a circular historical walk around Grantham, where we will depart and finish at Grantham House.
The town is steeped in history dating back to between 400-600AD: the Saxon Period. Battles with Oliver Cromwell; WWI and WWII camps dominated the landscape. Kings and Queens of England had stayed in this market town. Politicians, actors and scientists have hailed from Grantham. White Gingerbread also came from here, and, as some would say, the early designs of the tank for WW1.
