The Vale of Belvoir BEE-və) is on the borders of Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire in England. The name derives from the Norman-French for beautiful view.
The vale is an east-north-east trending tract of low ground of somewhat ill-defined area. Its vale-like form can be viewed from either its southern flank or from the north-west along the A46 from which it is much less conspicuous. It is the product of geological processes, being occupied in the main by the sedimentary mudstones and thin limestones of the Liassic , with a northern fringe comprising the upper parts of the Triassic . As described above its south-eastern margin is the most clearly defined, as it is formed by a conspicuous scarp slope, about 330 feet higher than the valley floor, upon which Belvoir Castle sits. Its resistance to erosion is due to a capping of relatively thick Jurassic Ironstone. The vale-like form is further constrained by cappings of ancient glacial till that form the higher ground along its western margin.
