EXPLORE THE OUTDOORS THIS HALF TERM WITH BELVOIR CASTLE 🌱

Make the most of its sprawling parkland, tranquil gardens, epic adventure playground and stylish Retail Village.

For a family day out to remember, young adventurers can take to the high seas at Belvoir’s adventure playground, designed in the shape of the HMS Resolution. Staring out to sea through the portholes, or shivering their timbers on the p**p deck, the ship is modelled on the adventures of an ancestor of the Duke of Rutland.

Enjoy thousands of beautiful Snowdrops on show through the parkland and gardens as you wander through the picturesque grounds. To explore the acres of parkland, The Duke’s Walk is a three-mile circular that takes in areas designed by Sir Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown in 1780.
