Belton House; a National Trust property close to Grantham is well worth a visit. The house and grounds are extensive and there is also a children’s play area. Belton Horse Trials offers “more than just horses” and they are held in April.
Built for Sir John Brownlow in the 1680s, Belton House has all the design features of a classic English country home. Sitting in formal Italian and Dutch gardens and an historic 1300 acre deer park, Belton is often cited as the quintessential country house estate.
The estate also includes a restaurant, café and indoor play area, gift and garden shops and the recently restored outdoor adventure playground
