Took some drone photographs of Grimsthorpe Castle today to capture the impressive country house surrounded by its beautiful parkland. The majestic structure was designed by Sir John Vanbrugh, architect of Blenheim Palace and Castle Howard, and is his last masterpiece. It’s only when photographed from the air that the house’s arrangement around a central courtyard is clearly seen. The rolling pastures, lakes, and woodland of the park surrounding Grimsthorpe Castle were landscaped by Capability Brown.

It was clear from the activity in the grounds that the house was being prepared to re-open after lockdown. Grimsthorpe Castle park and gardens is definitely one of the most impressive country estates in Lincolnshire.
