Belton House provides a home for lots of different types of wildlife. We're working to ensure that this special place and its residents stay protected.

Belton is home to a wild herd of around 300 fallow deer. The deer are direct descendants of the herd enclosed within its parkland in 1690, and have been a significant feature of the estate ever since.

Pipistrelle and long-eared brown bats have been regular visitors to Belton's stables, roosting in considerable numbers in the roof space.

In partnership with the Woodland Trust, we have exciting plans for Londonthorpe Wood and the eastern side of the Belton Estate.

Belton has been called the perfect country house estate. Much of the justification for such a claim lies in the quality, completeness and sheer panache of its collections.

Belton is home to some unique 18th-century trompe l'oeil porcelain.

Ogilby was one of the most significant English cartographers, and his road atlas of Great Britain (1675) was pivotal in standardising the English mile, setting the standard for later atlases.

Now restored and re-gilded, Viscount Tyrconnel’s stunning lapis lazuli cabinet, brought back from his Grand Tour over 300 years ago, can be seen jewel-like in Belton's blue bedroom dressing room.

Chinese Wallpaper was assimilated into a succession of western styles of decoration, from baroque and rococo to neoclassical and Victorian.
