Leeds Castle β€” The Most Beautiful Castle in the World

Leeds Castle in Maidstone, Kent (ME17 1PL) has been described as "the most beautiful castle in the world" β€” a claim that is hard to dispute when you see the medieval fortress rising from the middle of a lake on a warm summer morning. Built originally in 857 AD and rebuilt as a royal palace from 1278, Leeds Castle was the home of six medieval queens of England and is today surrounded by 500 acres of parkland, formal gardens, a maze, a grotto, and a bird of prey centre. It is just 40 miles from central London β€” approximately 1 hour via the M20.

What to See
  • The Castle interior
    Royal apartments, the medieval bedrooms of Queen Catherine of Aragon, and the Dog Collar Museum (a unique collection of 16th–19th century dog collars).
  • The Maze and Grotto
    One of England's finest topiary mazes with an underground grotto exit. Allow 1 hour.
  • The Parkland
    500 acres of Capability Brown-inspired parkland β€” excellent for picnics and walks.
  • Falconry Centre
    Daily bird of prey demonstrations in the castle grounds.
Combining with Canterbury or Sissinghurst

Leeds Castle is 15 miles from Canterbury Cathedral and 12 miles from Sissinghurst Castle Garden (National Trust, one of England's most celebrated gardens). Either combination makes an excellent full day in Kent.
