With its noble towers in a variety of styles stretching up from the hills of the forest beneath it, Belvoir Castle, which in French translates directly to “beautiful view,” certainly lives up to its name. For centuries, the castle has been the ancestral home of the Dukes of Rutland, and has been partially destroyed and rebuilt several times over the centuries.

Inside Belvoir, visitors can explore extravagantly furnished rooms and admire the paintings, sculptures, and other pieces of art that have been commissioned and hand-selected by the Rutland family. The castle and its exquisite gardens are open to the public only on selected days throughout the summer season. Its hours and calendar of events can be found on its website.
