Woolsthorpe Manor

It was Peter's birthday today so we had a day out to visit the home of Isaac Newton near Grantham in Lincolnshire. The house is now owned by the National Trust - Newton was born here on Christmas Day in 1642. The house at that time was that of a Yeoman's farmstead where they would rear sheep. It is furnished with borrowed furniture showing a typical farm house of the early 17th century. We really enjoyed the house as well as the experiments they have set up using prisms mirrors and pemdulums. If you want any more info try this link. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woolsthorpe_Manor
I remember visiting many years ago as it is only about 40 minutes east of us. Lovely shot where the slope helps make it.

@cookie123 Actually not a climb at all as we entered from a car park at the top! The weather looks worse than it was - it was sunny when I took the picture and the dramatic sky was away in the distance.
