Day 3

A short hop this morning to Belvoir Castle. Dating back to the 11th century, it is the ancestral home of the Duke of Rutland, where the family have lived for almost a thousand years. It is said to be one of the finest examples of Regency architecture in the country. In addition, the gardens have undergone several major changes over the centuries, the latest being a restoration programme by the present Duchess to bring the lost plans of Capability Brown to fruition. Enjoy the Engine Yard Retail Village before departing for time at leisure in the attractive town of Stamford with its olde world charm and prosperity.
