On entering the gardens at Belton, the first thing you see are the Italian Gardens centered around a large circular pond and fountain. These are very pretty formal gardens layed out in expanding circles around the pond.

At the rear of the italian garden is the Orangery - a tropical greenhouse, full of exotic plants and flowers. Behind the orangery is a small walled garden with a colourful Herbaceous Border plants.

Directly behind the house are the flower beds and statues of the Dutch style garden with a wide scenic path leading to the sundial statue. The path continues into more open woodland that contains the long pond and finally takes you to the Boathouse and boating lake. (boathouse was being restored Sept 2007)
