I visited this house on the 1th of January 2023 and this is my first walk of the New Year. I’m still recovering from the flu 🤒 luckily everyday it goes a bit better. 🤞🏻🍀
Sadly I couldn’t go out a lot the last 2 weeks, but will catch up soon on some walks.
The Photographs in this post are all taken with my iPhone 📱🤓
I will follow the time stamps on my photographs. So it looks like you are walking along with me on this #walk around #Belton #House and #gardens 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻 #discovering everything and seeing the little #details through my eyes. 😊
Let me show you first its location on Google maps, see the yellow star ⭐️ :
Zooming in:
As you can see the grounds are very large…
If you want to read up on this country house.
Have a look at the following “Wikipedia page about Belton House.”
Let’s start our WALK now:
Are you coming along? 😉😊
First we decide to see the interior of the country house. Walking towards it we see: The grand entrance towards the courtyard.
Some details above us. 😊
And on the side. Beautiful fountain ⛲️
Entering the house we walk along a route that is set out. Some rooms we can’t enter as the owners still live there. The rooms that are open for the public, are beautifully decorated with Christmas 🎄 decorations.
The rooms are dark and the little lights shine ✨ beautiful and light up some corners.
Children's area. 🎄
The hallway… all trees are real Christmas trees and rather large. 🎄🥰
I see beautiful fireplaces 😎 in each room.
The ceilings and many paintings around in the staircase.
A beautiful dress is displayed 💃🏻
More decorations in other rooms. I love the decorations hanging off the lights. 😎
Details of the fireplace. Stunning… each fireplace is different throughout the house. 😊
After we leave the house, we decide to go and explore the gardens. Are you coming along with me?
I wrapped my self warm up with scarf 🧣 hat and gloves 🧤… let’s keep warm. Luckily it is dry. 😊
We see a carousel for the little ones.
In the gardens I see light decorations that will come on once it goes dark and displays millions of lights throughout the gardens of this country house. ✨✨✨✨
A look at the orangery - botanical green house in the garden and next to it the church.
Behind the orangery we see this garden area.
The church… there was a part of the wall that fell down and restoration works are in progress. 😎
Walking further through the gardens we go and walk towards the house from the backside.
This sundial standing in the middle of the path.
Walking further along this path… the house is looking stunning walking towards it. While the path is opening. 😎
Some details next to the house.
As we walk further, we see statues. 😎
This cube is standing tall and I can imagine the colours popping out once the light is turned on and it gets darker. 😎
A wider shot with the house in the background.
A pond with it’s reflections… in the gardens.
Following a path we reach the orangery from another side.
The entrance to the house is getting magical now the lights are turned on. As it is getting darker in the afternoon.
The house is lit up too and we see a faint colour going up the walls.
The light decorations in the gardens are on too now and we see in the distance some of them.
I didn’t pay for the light show to be included, so we are leaving the grounds now and I take a few photos from the lights in the distance…
Walking back to the parking lot where the car is parked. We see the BELTON house being beautifully grand in the distance. 🥰😎
And with this last photograph I say:
