 ... what can I tell you - Join HHA and at least make visiting Belvoir Castle a slightly less financially painful one - and keep your expectations suitable low - This isn't Chatsworth House, even though the prices here might lead you to suspect otherwise. Choose a weekend when there's a special event on that you'd happily pay to come to in its own right - and count the castle and gardens as a "Brucie bonus"....more

Premium Review Belvoir Castle: Nice view - shame about the cost (706 words)

As "Friends of HHA" (Historic Houses Association) we are constantly on the look out for new places to visit that are part of their membership scheme and that are within reasonable travelling distance of Sheffield - The website for this property is suitably clear and promised a good day's entertainment. We visited on a quiet Thursday afternoon in May and were able to park within 30 yards of the ticket office - and because it wasn't a weekend or Bank Holiday we didn't have to pay an extra £1 for car parking. The first thing to greet my own family's arrival was a sign saying that the Adventure Playground was closed for essential maintenance. Hardly the ...  Read the complete review

~~ Belvoir Castle ~~ It was Saturday and the first full day of our holiday in Lincolnshire and after a very disappointing visit to Skegness we were in a quandary on what to do as it had already gone past lunch time.

We looked at the A52 which we were on and followed it looking for a place of interest to visit; we spotted Belvoir Castle which was slightly off the A52, but what the hell it would cheer us up. So off we went. We arrived there quite late in the ...  Read the complete review

Belvoir Castle and Estate is located in Leicestershire, approximately 11 miles from Melton Mowbray, and a similar distance from Bingham. I have driven past it several times, and as it is so close to me, I felt it was essential to check it out sooner rather than later, to see if it can offer what my previous castle of choice - Culzean Castle in Ayrshire - offered me and the family for so many years. Entry ------- My first shock on researching it on the internet was the entry fee. It costs a whopping £10 per adult for entry, with only a £1 discount for students and senior citizens. Family tickets were a slightly more reasonable £26, and if it is ...  Read the complete review
