Situated in the Vale of Belvoir in Leicestershire Belvoir Castle has an approximate value of £85 million and is owned by the Duke of Rutland.

Belvoir Castle is an older and more beautiful than any of the other royal palaces and is thought to be the real jewel in the Midland’s crown.

The Castle can be found in a wonderful hilltop setting that looks out on to the Vale of Belvoir, with delightful views form its parapets and towers. It was here that the film The Haunting that starred Catherine Zeta Jones and Liam Neeson was filmed and Ismail Merchant and James Ivory film The Golden Bowl also filmed in the castle.
As the castle has 160 rooms, five acres of roof, invaluable art collections, antiques, furniture all cost £500,000 a year it is rather a constant worry for the 11th Duke and Duchess of Rutland.

The state dinning room and ballroom are hired out by the Rutland’s for corporate entertainment and private parties. In the Guard Room here you can get married. The Duke doesn’t look to shooting to make money as he is the president of the pro-hunting Countryside Alliance. The guests to the castle can stay and shoot partridge, pheasant and duck on the 15,000 acre estate.
