Situation
Grantham is located on the River Witham, in the county of Lincolnshire, approximately 120 miles North of London and 25 miles South of Lincoln. Surrounded by agricultural land towards the western side of the Kesteven uplands, it is an ancient and attractive red-brick town, with the 281ft high spire of St.Wulfram's Church one of its dominating features. Grantham's historical strategic significance is the connection with Isaac Newton, the most famous King's School old boy, that Grantham now hosts the Gravity Fields Festival every two years (attracting approximately 60,000 visitors across 5 days), plus it has England's oldest coaching inn, the Angel & Royal Hotel. There is a large selection of independent retailers and high street stores offering an eclectic mix of goods and services. Grantham is ideally placed for commuter links with the A1 easily accessible for travel North and South. In addition, Grantham Railway Station is on the East Coast mainline and regular trains to London take approximately 70 minutes. Houghton Road is particularly well located for access to the train station, plus accessing the A1 (not having to go through the town centre), and also within walking distance from other highly respected schools). The opposite side of Houghton Road backs on to Dysart Park, with two age-grouped playing areas, bandstand, bowling green, outdoor tennis court and large green; the river walk alongside the Witham starts opposite the base of the park.
