FULLY BOOKED. Belvoir Castle is a gothic style stately home in Leicestershire with a history dating back to the Norman times.  We will enjoy an exclusive tour of the lavish state rooms, which have hosted royalty throughout the centuries, on a day when the castle is closed to the public. 

The Castle houses an impressive collection of artworks, including paintings by renowned artists, historic furniture, and priceless artifacts that represent British aristocratic life throughout the centuries.

In the afternoon there is an optional guided Parkland Bus Tour (+£5) taking you through the estate’s stunning parkland or alternatively, you may wish to explore the formal gardens and woodland walks.

If time allows, visit the Retail Village which offers a selection of boutique shops, fresh produce and local crafts.
