The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside and is home to a number of historic buildings and landmarks, including the Grade II listed St. Peter's Church, which dates back to the 13th century.

The village of Lenton has a rich history, with evidence of human settlement dating back to the Bronze Age. During the Roman period, the area was an important centre for agriculture and trade, and there are still traces of Roman roads and buildings in the surrounding countryside.

Today, Lenton is a peaceful and picturesque village, with a close-knit community and a strong sense of local pride.

Despite its small size, Lenton has a number of amenities and attractions for visitors to enjoy. The village has a pub, The Red Lion, which serves traditional pub food and real ale, as well as a village hall that hosts a range of events and activities throughout the year. There are also several walking and cycling routes in the surrounding countryside, offering visitors the chance to explore the beautiful Lincolnshire landscape.

Belton House
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. The Back Drop Of The House Is Lovely. Dogs Must Be On Leads. There Are Deer On Site.
