| Belvoir Castle
- The
castle has fine paintings by Holbein, Teniers the Younger,
Gainsborough, Stubbs and others. Though spelled Belvoir it is pronounced "Beever" by
locals. The first castle built on this site dates back to Norman
times but the present-day castle was begun by John Webb, a pupil
of Inigo Jones, in 1654-68, but was remodelled in the nineteenth
and twentieth centuries. The views from the castle are extraordinary.
We didn't get a chance to explore the gardens because of a coming
storm. August, 2004 |
