The Belvoir Hunt (Duke of Rutland's Hounds) is one of the oldest and most celebrated hunts. Its roots can be traced back to 1750 and it became a foxhound pack in 1762. The kennels throughout the Hunt's history have been at Belvoir Castle. Its country lies in Leicestershire and Lincolnshire, adjoining that of the Quorn and the Cottesmore at Melton Mowbray.
