We are slowly making our way up the country to the Glasgow Worldcon via interesting places. Today, we stopped at Belvoir Castle.

| Belvoir Castle |
We looked around the castle, which had castly things in it. Then we went for a walk around the grounds.
The woodland walk was excellent, with many weird, wonderful, and magnificent trees.
 |
| weird : lots and lots of branches |
 |
| wonderful |
 |
| magnificent |
There were also several buildings constructed of wood, or cut into the rock.

| Root and Moss House |
Closer to the castle, on the edge of the woodland, there were some stunning hydrangeas.
 |
| they were a much more vivid blue in reality |
And closer still were the more formal gardens.

| green formality |
 |
| a lovely rose garden, but just past its best |
We then drove to a nearby Premier Inn hotel for the night, chosen mainly because it is part of a chain that has EV chargers. It also had a Brewers Fayre eatery attached, where we had dinner. The menu had a nice looking mixed grill, but it was clearly too big for one person. So we shared it, and had a good, filling meal each. Then we shared an apple crumble for dessert, which also gave us a good-sized portion each. The result was a really nice substantial meal for two, for less than £25!
