Légende

Belvoir Castle: the bridge between the two lakes, 1890. Estate in Leicestershire, seat of the Duke of Rutland. 'Looking along the Vale of Belvoir, indeed, all our view is Lincolnshire, but quite unlike the Lincolnshire of one's imagination - flat and green as a billiard-table, with not a feature in the landscape but here and there a long dike or a tall church spire. Here we overlook a billowy sea of woodland, with spurs of the marlstone hills running into the plain, with ridges of trees crossing the valley here and there, with a lovely little lake - a widening of the river Devon - lying near the foot of the castle hill, and in the farthest distance shadowy hills that cross and cut off the view'. From "Illustrated London News", 1890.
