Riseholme is a small village in Lindsey, the northern part of Lincolnshire, only about a mile north of the county town, the City of Lincoln. The population of the civil parish was 450 at the 2011 census.

Riseholme Park

Riseholme is the site of the rural science campus of the University of Lincoln (often referred to as Riseholme Park), and the home of Riseholme College, the University of Lincoln's main Further Education department.

Riseholme Park campus covers more than a thousand acres of land, and includes woodland, deer parks and a lake. At the centre of the campus is Riseholme Hall, former home to multiple Bishops of Lincoln.

The college provides courses in small animals, forestry and arboriculture, equine (horses), horticulture and agriculture.

In 1994, Princess Anne opened a new residential training college for the Inland Revenue (HM Revenue and Customs), Lawress Hall, at Riseholme Park.

The college has two farms, one on the main site at Riseholme, and one in the nearby village of Nettleham (Lodge Farm, Nettleham).

Facilities include an AstroTurf pitch, rugby and football pitches, fishing, halls for corporate events and outdoor activities.
