 A visit to Belton House, a National Trust property in Lincolnshire, is planned for Sunday 17th April 2011 and with an informal picnic in the grounds and tour of the house. Details of the event are alongside together with booking information. The perfect English country house, set in its own extensive deer park, Belton was designed to impress. Built in the late 17th century for 'Young' Sir John Brownlow, with family fortunes founded in law, it is one of the finest examples of Restoration architecture and was, for centuries, the scene of lavish hospitality. Opulent décor, stunning silverware, imposing paintings and personal mementos convey wealth while retaining a family atmosphere. Delightful gardens, luxuriantly planted orangery and lakeside walks ensure Belton is a pleasure to explore all year round. Featured in the BBC's TV adaptation of Pride and Prejudice starring Colin Firth. National Trust website. More & MG6 on display Sunday 17th April 2011 is "National Drive Your Classic Car Day". |
