Belvoir Castle
Originally built in 1067 – a year after William the Conqueror handed the land to a Norman baron – the castle was left in ruins and rebuilt several times, before the impressive structure that stands today was finished in 1832. If you imagine your ideal fairy tale castle in your mind, I bet it’ll not be far off Belvoir!
One of Leicestershire’s finest buildings, this is the ancestral home of the Dukes of Rutland who have lived at Belvoir in an unbroken line for almost a thousand years.
