Welcome to Belvoir Castle, Leicestershire, England. The ancestral home of the Duke and Duchess of Rutland for one thousand years. The castle is currently the family home of the 11th Duke, Duchess and their young family.
The name Belvoir means 'beautiful view' and dates from Norman times. The Castle occupies a commanding position with breath taking views across the Vale of Belvoir.
