    Belvoir Castle sits ontop of a hill rising over the valley of Belvoir, commanding views of North Leicestershire for many miles.

    The house has been the ancestral home of the Dukes of Rutland with the family living at Belvoir for almost a thousand years. The land was a gift from William the Conqueror to one of his Normal barons who fought for him at the Battle of Hastings 1066. The house and gardens can be visited with a cafe to take a break.

    The castle was used as a film set, among other things.
    In the film "The Little Lord" the building represented the castle of the Dorincourt family.
    In the film The Da Vinci Code, Belvoir Castle was the summer residence of Pope Castel Gandolfo, and the castle was also used as a backdrop for The Ghost Castle.
    The listed castle is also open to visitors. The rooms house important works of art.

    Lovely views and some nice hills to train on. Excellent rest point at Cafe Allez. Well worth planning a ride round here.
