Beautiful by design and first-class hostess to royalty, nobility, and glamorous guests for over 900 years, Leeds Castle in Maidstone, rises majestically from the water in the stunning Kentish countryside.

With its riveting history serving six of England’s medieval queens to its 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 historical attractions in Britain.

Should you wish to enter the grounds of Leeds Castle, customers are required to purchase an additional entrance ticket to Leeds Castle, which is available to buy at the main entrance to Leeds Castle. Please visit www.leeds-castle.com/visit for more information.

Families are spoilt for choice with Adventure Golf, two thrilling playgrounds; Knights’ Stronghold Playground, and the Squires’ Court Playground, a challenging Maze with a mythical underground Grotto, and over 500 acres of seasonal grounds, gardens, and parkland to explore and dream beside.

Want to give your feet a rest? Take a leisurely sit back and enjoy a ride on Elsie the Castle Train or catch the Black Swan Ferry across the Great Water. Watch in awe as majestic birds of prey swoop overhead at the Bird of Prey Centre, and have the opportunity to get up close and personal with these beautiful creatures, as their cheeky personalities greet you.
