David, 11th Duke of Rutland and his charming wife Emma took over in 1999.
Belvoir has a fantastic site on the edge of a steep escarpment dominating the broad vale to the North. The Manners family was so old, well connected and wealthy even in 1816 when Wyatt built the present castle that one wonders why the design chosen owes so much to swagger and so little to convenience.
Belvoir houses a wonderful collection and the statue garden is always worth a visit as too is the Engine Yard Retail Village, which is open daily.
