Belvoir Castle

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

A romantic (fake) Gothic collosus atop a rocky tor. Begun in 1801 by James Wyatt for the 5th Duke of Rutland. When Wyatt died the bulk of the work was executed by the John Thoroton, whose primary credential for the job was his position as the family chaplain. Fantastic painted ceiling, and a collection of paintings by Gainsborough, Holbein, and the ubiquitous Reynolds. A sumptuous display.
Garden: Formal Rose and Statue gardens lie close to the Belvoir Castle. Further from the castle lie the Duchess's Spring gardens, begun in 1800. The gardens lie in a dell, or amphitheatre, with natural woodland springs providing year round garden colour.
