Description
Leeds Castle, set on two islands on the River Len in the heart of Kent, has been home to royalty, lords and ladies for over 1000 years.Visitors are transported through 900 years of the castle’s history; an eclectic mix of period architecture, sumptuous interiors and family treasures waiting to be discovered.
Our internationally renowned aviaries offer a fascinating glimpse into the world of modern conservation and captive breeding programmes. Black swans glide on the moat and waterways, peacocks wander through the grounds and birds of prey soar on the wind during daily falconry displays.
The gardens offer continuous colour throughout the year. From a mass of spring bulbs and wild flowers in the wood garden, through fragrant herbs and roses in the quintessentially English Culpeper garden, to late flowering borders in the drought-resistant Mediterranean garden.
Leeds Castle is not just a museum but also a place where people meet and special events bring the grounds to life.
Conferences, meetings, weddings and banquets can also be arranged in the castle and other areas on the estate.
We hope you enjoy your visit to Leeds Castle
Set in 500 acres of beautiful parkland, Leeds Castle is full of
discovery. A blend of heritage, wonderful grounds and conservation
awaits every visitor to this all year round attraction.
Leeds Castle's last private owner, Lady Baillie, lovingly restored the
Castle to its former glory and founded the Leeds Castle Foundation in
1974. The Foundation is a private charitable trust that works to
preserve the castle and grounds.
