| In 1588 , a chain of beacons was laid throughout the land ready to give the alert at the first sight of the Spanish Armada. Belvoir, being the highest point in Leicestershire was one of these sights. This hill is still called Beacon Hill.
The occasion was immortalised in the poem by Lord Macauley (1832): And Belvoir's lordly terraces The sign to Lincoln sent And Lincoln sped the message On o'er the wide Vale of Trent |

| Looking across the Vale towards Bottesford |

| Coffee stop |

| Then the rain - Belvoir Castle in the distance |
