Belton House Is A National Trust Estate With Loads Of Parkland To Explore. Its Just Outside Of Grantham And Easy To Find. It's Not Free To Walk, It's S About £9. But It's S Big Enough To Spend Hours Here If Your Dog Likes Long Walks, Or Why Not Walk And Picnic! You Can Do A Basic Walk On The Tarmac Drive In Front Of The House, And Then Loop Around By The River. Or Pass By The Front Of The House And Out Towards The Hill. Walk All The Way Up To Belmont Tower For Great Views. Humphrey Enjoyed His Walk Here As There Are Trees, Open Grassland, A Pond, River And Other Doggie Friends To Play With.
