The Orchard at Woolsthorpe Manor
The tree at the far end of the orchard (the one roped-off) is believed to be the one* where Newton is said to have observed the falling apples - leading to the formulation of his theories (and later law) of universal gravitation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sir_Isaac_Newton#Apple_incident .
*If not the actual tree, a survivor from the same rootstock.

Trees in garden of Woolsthorpe Manor
Woolsthorpe Manor was the birthplace of Isaac Newton, although he returned here during the plague when the University of Cambridge was closed. Many of his optics experiments were carried out here, and the infamous apple tree was found in this garden. Whilst the original tree has long since died, part of it rerooted and forms the tree surrounded by the fence here. A plaque below the tree describes this as one of 50 Great British Trees.
