Belvoir Castle, Grounds and Gardens Entry

For almost 1,000 years, Belvoir Castle has stood proudly on its hilltop, witnessing the ebb and flow of English history. From Norman conquest to modern day, the castle has been rebuilt and reimagined several times, each incarnation reflecting the tastes and tribulations of its era. The current Belvoir Castle was built in the early 1800s and is described as one of the country's most magnificent and finest Regency homes. It is the ancestral home of the Duke of Rutland, whose family has lived there for almost a thousand years. Belvoir Castle has a rich history dating back to the eleventh century, and its name, meaning "beautiful view" in French, is pronounced 'beaver'.

Guests can discover the magnificent gardens, where centuries of horticultural excellence and design have created stunning landscapes, including the last designed by the legendary 'Capability' Brown. From formal gardens to woodland walks, each area offers a unique experience throughout the seasons.
