Belvoir Castle in Grantham

The Belvoir Castle is a beautiful castle located in Grantham, Leicestershire.  Grantham is a market town very famous as the birthplace of former prime minister Margaret Thatcher, and the place where Isaac Newton went to school. It is within short walking distance of an ancient Roman road, and was the scene of Oliver Cromwell’s first advantage over Royalists during the English Civil War at Gonerby Moor. Grantham is also notable for having the first female police officers in the United Kingdom, in 1914, and producing the first running diesel engine in 1892, and the UK’s first tractor in 1896.
It is nice to visit new places in summertime and considering all what mentioned before about Grantham, why not to go and have a walk in such an interesting town, if you never went.
Of course, I would not want to miss to visit the Castle. Especially in August there are some very entertaining events like Story telling and Fireworks going on at the Belvoir Castle.
Just visit the website for more info and have a good weekend!
