The earliest built brick building in the county. Built by Sir William Pierrepont in 1500 and still lived in by his descendants, the house surrounds a Courtyard Garden of 1875 possibly influenced by Nesfield on three sides with the local Parish Church of St Edmund on the fourth.The East Garden which was laid out in 1973 has a winter flower garden full of snowdrops, aconites, daffodils and hellebores among other plants. The wild Tulipa Sylvestris which has been here since the 17th century flowers in the park.The house has family portraits and regional furniture and welcomes groups on guided tours throughout the year. The house is also available for weddings, meetings, seminars and other such events.
We love Holme Pierrepont Hall, it's a brilliant place for a day trip whether you enjoy water activities or just taking in the scenery.

On a cold and miserable November day , what would we expect ? A 200 year old working windmill and a miller who had time and a great deal of knowledge about the history and workings of this classic piece of engineering Very rustic and interesting, plus we were also able to purchase oats and flour produced on site A very worthwhile tour which doesn’t require a huge amount of time to enjoy

Originally built in 1164 as an Augustinian priory, this became the ancestral home of poet Lord Byron.
Not so long ago I moved to Ravenshead Village and to my delight, literally on the door step, I have the most beautiful place to go to for my daily walks with my dog. I fell in love with this magical place with amazing sunrise and sunsets, noisy and curious peacocks, Canadian Geese, Swans, beautiful waterfalls, lakes and ponds and the most amazing gardens! I don’t know any gardener personally to say a big thank you for keeping the Abbey grounds so beautiful, but their hard work definitely shows and is highly appreciated ! By pure chance I came across on Instagram to one of the gardeners page adavison.gardener and I’ll take a chance to say Thank you , you doing really great job! I highly recommend Newstead Abbey for a simple stroll around beautiful grounds, for walk with dogs, for tranquility and meditation in Japanese Garden, for bird listening and watching, photography, picnics, running , cycling and much much more ! 10/10!!!!

Green's Windmill is a restored 19th Century tower mill, once home to mathematical physicist George Green. Turning again since 1986, climb to the top of our windmill and see how our sails turn grain into flour. In our interactive Science Centre discover the remarkable story of George Green, and experiment with light, electricity and magnetism. There's something for all the family!
This may be small, but between the science centre and the windmill itself, it kept my two boys (8 and 4) happy for a couple of hours. We paid a couple of pounds for the age-targeted treasure hunts which they each enjoyed completing. I found it really interesting too, George Green is the most influential mathematician you've never heard of and I loved climbing up through the working mill - how often do you get the opportunity to see a traditional mill grinding flour? Really impressive. Excellent value for money - and there is a big children's playground on the same site so they can go for a run around and a leg stretch afterwards.

On our way back from the Holocaust Centre in Laxton, we felt in need of a relaxing break so stopped to ask a lady if she knew of a nearby tea room. She recommended the Windmill and I am so pleased that she did. This is certainly a very friendly and relaxing place to stop off at. We had tea and delicious cake and admired the afternoon tea being enjoyed by a couple at a neighbouring table. The windmill was not operating as there was insufficient wind, but tours of the windmill can be taken at certain times at a very reasonable cost. An interesting place for a cuppa - and more

Lovely walk along the canal side with lots of wildlife saw a heron, Canada geese,ducks and moor hens with chicks. There were a steady flow of walkers, cyclists and boats on the water.

Welbeck is one of the great traditional landed estates. Set mainly within Sherwood Forest in Nottinghamshire, an area of great natural beauty, some of the most important historic buildings in the Midlands have been revitalised and are providing unique residential and commercial letting opportunities for a thriving, sustainable community. The Welbeck Estate in itself is not a 'destination', but you can visit the following which are located on the Welbeck Estate: - Welbeck Farm Shop, The Harley Gallery, Welbeck Abbey State Room Tours, The Harley Café and The Dukeries Garden Centre (run by Notcutts Garden Centres)
I work on the estate to I seen quite a bit of the place, it really is a beautiful place to work. The buildings around the estate are stunning! I have been to the brewery and sampled their real ales, they are fairly priced and very well brewed. The ale is very well known around the area. I haven eaten at the café and it is lovely, its fairly priced and the food is really fresh. The farm shop can be a little pricey but the produce is well worth the money, lots to choose from. The garden centre is situated close to the café and there is also a café in there too. The gallery is next door to the café. The place itself is a must see, I believe the tours sell out very fast but if you can get tickets, you wont regret it!! The winter Christmas market is good to visit too, plenty of food to try!
