Belton Park

A circular walk of about 6 miles around Belton Park in Lincolnshire.

This walk is "A literary walk through Belton Park" from the Guardian web site plus visits to the Wilderness to the west of the house and the Bellmount Tower to the east of the house. Belton House is a National Trust property and there is an entry fee (free for members) to the gardens and the wilderness.

A second walk to the Bellmount Tower (a viewing tower)

The Bellmount Tower is outside Belton Park and is a short walk from the small car park (SK944389) beside the road to the east of the park. It cannot be accessed directly from the park as there is no way through the deer fence on the boundary.
