Riseholme Park Campus

The University’s Country Seat

Situated just three miles north of Lincoln in a beautiful parkland campus, Riseholme College specialises in Agriculture, Horticulture, Animal and Equine training and education.

More than 1,000 acres of land are farmed at the Riseholme Park campus and in the nearby village of Nettleham. The Riseholme Estate has more than 20 hectares of mixed woodlands, and extensive water features.

Farming activities on the 240 hectare estate focus on dairy and grassland, with the arable enterprises being grown on 200 hectare Lodge Farm. The campus is home to a modern, purpose-built Rural Science Centre which houses the animal care unit and equine facilities.

Riseholme Park, previously the Bishop of Lincoln's palace and now the University's country seat, is just a few minutes away by car or bus from Lincoln city centre and the University’s main Brayford Pool campus.
