Assessor comments
"A fabulous family day out in a genuine castle."
Overview
Belvoir Castle is the ancestral home of the Duke and Duchess of Rutland, and the family has lived at Belvoir in an unbroken line for almost a thousand years. Crowning a hill in Leicestershire, its turrets and towers rise over the Vale of Belvoir like an illustration in a romantic fairytale. Belvoir offers a full day out with guided tours, acres of parkland, an adventure playground, family fun days, and the Engine Yard Retail Village.
