Belton's Landscape – Geology, History and Nature Walk
Whether you're just curious as to why we have a cliff running through the estate, or have an interest in earth sciences, this walk offers a fresh perspective on the landscape.
Belton’s landscape is beautiful, and its story has been written over hundreds of millions of years. Join one of our walk leaders for a geology-themed journey through time, where you’ll uncover how ancient forces shaped the rolling hills, escarpments, river basin and other water features.
Along the way, we’ll explore:
- The local and regional geology that defines Belton’s character
- How the land was formed and changed over hundreds of millions of years
- We will talk about dinosaurs and fossils from the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods
- Ice ages and glacial maximums
- The deep connection between geology, nature, and human history
Whether you're just curious as to why we have a cliff running through the estate, or have an interest in earth sciences, this walk offers a fresh perspective on the landscape — revealing how geology has influenced everything from wildlife habitats to historic and present land use.
Step into the past, walk through the present, and see Belton in a whole new light.
Distance: 8.5km.
