The Boat House
It's difficult to see how the boat house at Belton could have been used to store boats... The door is only a couple of feet wide.

Belton House from the East
Belton House viewed from the gardens to the east. The house has featured in a number of films and costume dramas. Do you recognise it from Pride and Prejudice? :-)

The Library at Belton House
The Library at Belton House is amazing. I found a copy of Whitaker's History of Richmondshire which I'd love to read but is virtually impossible to get hold of. :-(

A Room of Books
There's something about private libraries that I adore! This room of books at Belton House is home to the overspill from the main library. :-)
