Belvoir Castle is a stately home in the English county of Leicestershire; it is near several villages, including Redmile, Woolsthorpe, Knipton, and the town of Grantham.
A corner of the castle is still used as the family home of the Manners family and remains the seat of the Dukes of Rutland, most of whom are buried in the grounds of the mausoleum there. The castle remains privately owned and is open to visitors.
