This classic 17th-century English country house is set in delightful gardens with a magnificent deer-park.


The perfect symmetry, opulent décor, fine furnishings and Brownlow family portraits give Belton both grandeur and a more intimate feel. This year we are putting the spotlight on collections and collecting – from the fascinating books in the house to the stunning specimen trees in the park and specialist planting in the Orangery. There will be special events, with walks, talks and opportunities to take a closer look at many of our treasures and discover more about the people who collected them. Please note: no group visits on Bank Holiday weekends. Allow three weeks to process bookings.
