Woolsthorpe Manor
Woolsthorpe Manor in Lincolnshire is one of the most quietly extraordinary places in the world — this modest 17th-century farmhouse is the birthplace of Sir Isaac Newton and the spot where, so the story goes, a falling apple set him on the path to understanding gravity. The rooms where Newton was born and later worked during the Great Plague have been carefully preserved, and the famous apple tree still grows in the garden. A place of real scientific pilgrimage.
