Belton Estate is a grand National Trust country house estate set in 1,300 acres of parkland and gardens just outside Grantham. The Grade I-listed mansion sits at the heart of the estate, surrounded by formal gardens, woodland walks and grassland grazed by deer and sheep. It's a proper day-out destination with a shop, second-hand bookshop and the popular Stables Café.

Dogs on short leads are welcome throughout the gardens and parkland and they're also allowed in the courtyard, shops and Stables Café. The mansion, adventure playground, indoor play area and Conservatory are assistance dogs only, but most of the estate remains open for you and your four-footer to explore together. Parking is included in the entry fee, with accessible spaces close to reception and EV charging available in the car park.

The estate opens daily from 9.30am, with the park and gardens staying open until 6pm. Short leads are required throughout and keep a watchful eye when livestock or deer are grazing nearby.
