Caythorpe Court

Caythorpe Court is a Grade II* listed mansion in Lincolnshire that now operates as an adventure center for group activities and outdoor learning. The estate features numerous accommodation buildings, recreational facilities including a sports hall and lake, and expansive grounds designed for hosting large gatherings.

Built in 1901 as a country retreat for banker Edgar Lubbock, the house featured formal gardens designed by architect Reginald Blomfield. It later served as a military hospital during wartime and became an agricultural college that operated until the early 2000s.

The building served as an Auxiliary Military Hospital during wartime and later became the Kesteven Agricultural College, shaping local education until 2002.

The site is designed for group visits with a focus on outdoor and sporting activities, offering training spaces and recreational facilities. Individual visitors should check in advance as the property primarily accommodates pre-arranged group bookings rather than casual drop-in visits.

The property regularly hosts military veterans during annual commemorations of the Battle of Arnhem, creating a living connection to its wartime past. This practice keeps the building's role as a military hospital alive through the stories and presence of those who served.
