Icehouse Plantation is a historic and picturesque estate located in Lincolnshire, England. Situated in a wooded area known as the Wood or Forest, it spans over a vast expanse of land and is renowned for its natural beauty and rich history.

The estate gets its name from the presence of an icehouse, a structure used in the past for storing ice, which is still preserved on the property. This icehouse was once a crucial component of the estate, providing a means of refrigeration for the grand mansion that once stood there.

The Wood, or Forest, surrounding Icehouse Plantation is a haven for nature enthusiasts and offers a diverse range of flora and fauna. Tall and ancient trees dominate the landscape, creating a serene and tranquil atmosphere. The woodland is home to various species of wildlife, including deer, birds, and smaller mammals, and is a popular spot for birdwatchers and nature photographers.

The history of Icehouse Plantation dates back centuries, with the estate mentioned in historical records as early as the 13th century. Over the years, it has changed hands several times and has witnessed various architectural transformations. Today, the mansion that once stood on the estate is no longer there, but remnants of its grandeur can still be seen in the form of ruins and foundations.

Icehouse Plantation is not only a place of natural beauty but also a window into the past, offering visitors a chance to immerse themselves in the history and charm of Lincolnshire's Wood or Forest.
