With its beautiful setting among formal gardens and vistas over leisure grounds and an old deer park, Belton is usually hailed as the greatest example of an English country-house estate in the English countryside. The house, despite its modest size, contains a remarkable collection of china and silver, a world-renowned library, and an architectural grandeur that reflects the Brownlow family’s continued prosperity and sophisticated tastes. Belton, with its seasonal trails and the National Trust’s largest outdoor adventure playground, has recently become a popular destination for families searching for outdoor entertainment.
