About this experience
Set amongst 500 acres of beautiful Kentish parkland, Leeds Castle stands tall as an 11th century Norman stronghold. With a history serving England’s medieval kings and queens, to an elaborate transformation into an elegant 20th century retreat by Anglo-American heiress, Lady Baillie; Leeds Castle’s rich heritage has secured its place as one of the most visited historic attractions in Britain.
There’s plenty for all to enjoy, from exploring the Princess Alexandra Gardens and savouring afternoon teas, to watching breath-taking falconry displays and challenging the family to a game of adventure golf.
