The setting
The Brocklesby Estate
A working estate on the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds, and the village of Great Limber at its heart.
The Vicarage and its Cottage are estate houses: built for the life of the Brocklesby Estate and the village of Great Limber, and let today as holiday homes. Staying in them puts you inside a village that still works as one — farmland and woods around it, the point-to-point on the estate calendar, and The New Inn at its centre.
The estate’s history — the family, the dates, the buildings — deserves telling properly rather than approximately, and this page will carry the real account written with the estate office.
Open to guests
- Estate walks and woodlands, straight from the door
- The walled garden
- The estate mausoleum
Ask the estate office for routes and access when you book — few guests realise how much of the estate is theirs to walk.
