Belvoir Castle is a historic fortress and stately home. It was built immediately after the Norman Conquest of 1066 but has been rebuilt three times since. The castle sits in extensive grounds and beautiful gardens, which are mostly early 19th century but incorporate 17th-century elements. The castle and grounds are open to the public.

Belvoir Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

Belvoir Castle sits ontop of a hill rising over the valley of Belvoir, commanding views of North Leicestershire for many miles.

The house has been the ancestral home of the Dukes of Rutland with the family living at Belvoir for almost a thousand years. The land was a gift from William the Conqueror to one of his Normal barons who fought for him at the Battle of Hastings 1066. The house and gardens can be visited with a cafe to take a break.
