Angry residents have slammed the National Trust after a post code blunder caused hundreds of motorists to flood into their upmarket village during the Coronavirus pandemic.
Villagers next to historic Belton House say visitors to a lights trail at the Grade I listed Georgian estate drove up their driveways and were even knocking on doors to ask for directions to the entrance.
The traffic chaos was so bad that residents on one lane chose to barricade their street with wheelie bins to prevent further disruption caused by visitors to the country home, near Grantham, Lincs.
Belton villager Bernard Norton claims the National Trust put the misleading post code on tickets and its advertising to take visitors away from the Lion Gates on the other side of the estate.
