Belvoir Castle
"Few places in England present a finer view, than
does Belvoir. For a distance of over thirty miles
the eye beholds a charming country, with more than
seventy towns and villages within the horizon, not
to mention the many beautiful valleys and glittering
streams.
The old time castle is no more. A modern, castellated mansion, or rather palace, has taken its place,
rising its proud towers far above the wooded hills.
