The 'perfect' English country house estate

Welcome to Belton House

This classic 17th century English country house is set in delightful gardens with a magnificent deer park. Perfect symmetry, opulent décor, fine furnishings and Brownlow family portraits give Belton both grandeur and a more intimate feel while our ‘Below Stairs’ tours give fascinating insights into how Belton’s servants lived and worked in the 1900s.

This year we are putting the spotlight on our collections, from the rare books and silverware in the house, to varieties of stunning specimen trees in the park and specialist planting in the Orangery.

Beyond face value

Our 2013 theme ‘Beyond Face Value’ encourages you to take a closer look and discover something new at Belton. This year there are special opportunities to look behind the scenes, talk to our teams on Conservation in Action days and Meet the Experts – indoors and out. You’ll definitely find there is much more than meets the eye at Belton.

Look out for our special events this year which aim to give intriguing new insights and a deeper understanding of our important collections.

Whether you’re visiting independently, with friends or family, Belton is the perfect place to relax, explore and to discover more.
