Explore the unexpected this summer

Woolsthorpe Manor from the Orchard

There’s more than meets the eye at Woolsthorpe Manor. Having safely reopened for you this summer, you can now step inside and lose yourself in the incredible story behind Newton’s discoveries at this special place.

Immerse yourself in a ‘Year of Wonders’

In 1665 the University of Cambridge closed its doors to prevent the spread of the great plague, forcing students, including Isaac Newton, to return home.

The world changed here during that time of closure, and as we reopen our doors for you this summer, you can experience this special place in a whole new light.

Explore Isaac Newton’s incredible story of discovery as our team of expert guides bring Woolsthorpe to life.
