There are so many beautiful properties looked after by the National Trust. As long time members we have visited so many lovely places, especially when on holiday around the UK.
There are also many great places nearer our home ... Belton House with it's stunning grounds is just an hour away.
A country house near Grantham Belton House is a Grade I listed building built in the 1680s by Sur John Brownlow.
As with many stately homes the furniture and decor is amazing. There were many ornate sculptures, inlaid flooring and carved framing.8
The rooms were very elegant, I especially liked the very large punch bowl. The staircase was stunning, very grand.
All the bedrooms had beautiful fabrics decorating the huge bed frames, the ceilings were so high.
The house is surrounded by formal gardens, follies and woodland parks. The stables and other out buildings are now the National Trust cafe, shop and second-hand bookshop.
The trees were very striking in their new leaf covering, such great shapes.
The church stood tall above the gardens and towered over the orangery which was quite warm inside, perfect for its tropical inhabitants.
It was a lovely trip to Belton House, just on our doorstep. Once again thank you National Trust.
