Belton House sits elegantly in formal gardens with views across pleasure grounds and an ancient Deer park.
Although built on a relatively modest scale, it has a fine collection of porcelain and silver, a world-renowned library and an architectural finesse that reflects the continued wealth and cultured tastes of its former owners, the Brownlow family.
Belton is often cited as being the perfect example of an English country house estate. In more recent times, it has become a popular destination for generations of families in search of outdoor fun, with the National Trust’s largest outdoor adventure playground and seasonal activities, so there is something to enjoy all year round.
